According to the newspaper US Federal Reserve Chair Yellen will use her speech at Jackson Hole this week to signal that "American interest rates will rise before the end of the year."

Another piece of journalistic conjecture but thanks to reader Biscotti for the heads-up in the comments section earlier.
All adding to recent/week-end hawkish chatter from Fed heads, markets and media alike and putting a bid under USD.
The article is here but gated.
