The US dollar fell slightly against the basket of major currencies before the Fed meeting. Today, at the end of the meeting, the regulator will publish a decision on the interest rate. Financial market participants expect that the Fed will raise the interest rate by 25 basis points up to 2-2.25% per annum. Also, investors expect any signs of a further increase in the rate. The US dollar index (#DX) closed in the negative zone (-0.07%).<\/p>\n

Yesterday, CB consumer confidence index was also published in the US, which counted to 138.4 in September and was better than the forecasted value of 132.2.
