Massive Gains of Dollar After Fed & BoJ Monetary Decisions

The US dollar demonstrated a massive rally this week thanks to the monetary policy decision from the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan. Positive macroeconomic reports also played their part in the performance of the greenback. The Fed ended its quantitative easing program, in line with expectations of most market participants.
