Anticipated Rate Reductions by the Fed in September - Daily News on Euro Currency
In the world of finance, keeping track of economic indicators and exchange rates is crucial for making informed decisions. Here's a roundup of some recent developments:
The US Federal Reserve has indicated a high probability of further rate cuts at its September meeting, with an 88% chance priced in by the markets. This comes as the Core PCE Price Index, a primary measure of inflation for the Federal Reserve, is expected to be released tomorrow. Movements in the Core PCE Price Index can have a significant impact on currency valuations and broader financial markets.
Across the Atlantic, the British economy is showing signs of inflationary pressure. The increase in British producer output price inflation has reached a two-year high, with the figure for June standing at 1.9%, up from 1.3% in May. This news comes as the Office for National Statistics (ONS) resumes the publication of Producer Price Index (PPI) data, which was suspended in March due to calculation errors dating back to 2020. The figures released on Wednesday are interim data ahead of the regular PPI publication, which is scheduled to resume in October.
The impact of these economic indicators is reflected in the exchange rates. The GBP/USD exchange rate is currently between 1.3431 and 1.3525, with an upward trend. Similarly, the EUR/USD exchange rate is between 1.1570 and 1.1680, also showing an upward trend. The GBP/EUR exchange rate is currently between 1.1574 and 1.1612.
