EUR/USD rises sharply after Fed’s interest rate cuts following November meeting
The currency skyrocketed after the Federal Reserve decided to cut rates by 25 basis points (currently at 1.75%). Now it’s trading around the 1.1150 level. Fed Chairman, Jerome Powell, was dovish, giving hints that monetary policy wouldn’t generate any major changes in its December meeting. Consequently, the greenback fell sharply amid a highly volatile environment across the board, where it posted a new weekly high, according to the US Dollar Index (DXY).
Still favouring an upside continuation for the short and mid-term. Wednesday’s move consolidated EUR/USD above a bullish trend line drawn since the lows of October. The focus shifts to the resistance area of 1.1177, where a breakout should happen to extend the impulsive move towards the 1.1230 zone.
