EUR/USD Plunges Following Fed's Decision on Interest Rate Cuts

By RoboForex Analytical Department

The interest rate remains at 5.5% annually, its highest in 23 years, and has been unchanged for five consecutive meetings.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell noted that the regulator plans to reduce the rate this year, likely achieving a 75-basis point reduction over three stages by the end of 2024.

The Fed also continues its balance sheet contraction plan, not reinvesting proceeds from matured bonds and having no plans to sell bonds from its portfolio.

The Fed's outlook was relatively optimistic this time, expecting the American economy to grow by 2.1% quarter-on-quarter in Q1 2024. Although the Consumer Price Index is decreasing, it is still high, and the employment market is strong due to new job creation.

The Fed's inflation target remains at 2%, with risks to expectations seen as balanced.

EUR/USD technical analysis

Influenced by the news, the H4 EUR/USD chart found support at 1.0836, leading to a correction.
