The EURUSD rate continues its ascent. The primary currency pair is developing a real rally, driven by a relatively soft tone of the US Federal Reserve. Investors hope to find confirmation of this in the last meeting minutes due this Wednesday. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is also expected to deliver a speech on Friday.
Powell will have the opportunity to confirm stock market expectations for the monetary policy outlook or refute them. Investors currently estimate the likelihood of a 25-basis-point interest rate cut in September at almost 100%, while the possibility of a 50-basis-point interest rate reduction is estimated at 24.5%.
Stock market emotions have returned to normal, although investors repeatedly start arguing about the Federal Reserve’s too sluggish actions. Some US statistics indicate that the economy may be moving towards recession. In this environment, market participants believe that the Federal Reserve plans to lower interest rates more slowly than required by the circumstances. As a result, the EURUSD forecast shows that the focus will be on interest rates and the trajectory of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy this week.
