The Fed Will Set the Mood for EURUSD

March 20, 2023

By RoboForex Analytical Department

EUR/USD starts a new week of March by consolidating around 1.0670.

This week, investors will be anxious. The key event is the meeting of the US Federal Reserve System, where monetary politicians will have to make difficult decisions, specifically the ones concerning the interest rate. As soon as problematic spots emerged in the US banking sector, the market started discussing the necessity to make a pause in lifting the interest rate to stop the crisis from expanding.

On the other hand, there are appearing more and more arguments supporting the growth of the interest rate. Among them there are the increase in base inflation and the Core PCE inflation index, tracked by the Fed.

Earlier the ECB lifted its rate by 50 base points, dismissing banking problems, and continued tightening the monetary policy. Its main goal is still beating high prices.

By the end of the week, volatility of EUR/USD will have increased noticeably.
