LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 12/18/12 -- Based on the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) minutes from their meeting on the 11th of December, there is a clear indication that further Quantitative Easing will be less likely to hit the US Dollar.

The current open-asset purchase program looks likely to be extended beyond the $40B monthly limit with 'Operation Twist' at an end. A generally positive atmosphere has been growing in the US due to:

--  Private sector credit expansion 
    
--  Housing market recovering 
    
--  Reduced unemployment 
    

However, carrying the current policy stance into the New Year may just be a stalling tactic as wage growth has been slow, along private sector consumption. The Dollar could still be in for some trouble if the Fed decides a stronger recovery needs to be encouraged in 2013.
