The currency pair gained above 0.9000 after a hawkish rate cut by the Fed. Intraday bias remains bullish as long as the support level at 0.8890 holds. The pair reached a high of 0.90211 and is currently trading around 0.89652.
Federal Reserve Rate Cut Overview
The Federal Reserve recently cut its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points, bringing it to a range of 4.25% to 4.5%. This is the third rate cut in 2024, totaling a 1 percentage point reduction since September. The Fed now plans to make only two more rate cuts by the end of 2025, down from four, due to rising inflation expectations. Although inflation has cooled slightly, it remains above the Fed's target of 2%, leading to a cautious approach in further rate changes. The decision was not unanimous, as Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack preferred to pause cuts. The Fed's positive outlook includes steady growth and low unemployment, but it faces challenges with ongoing inflation. Overall, while rate cuts are happening, a slow and careful approach is expected moving forward.
