Michelle Bowman reiterated Jerome Powell’s opinion

As we have already discussed, it no longer makes sense to expect a rate cut from the Federal Reserve. The latest Consumer Price Index report showed that inflation exceeds the target mark by almost twice. It will take at least 5-6 months for inflation to slow down to at least 2.5%. And only then will […]

This week has been quite dull, although both FOMC and ECB members made several important statements. The euro saw demand on Wednesday, but this was clearly a correction. Last week, the euro lost enough ground so at least it could execute some kind of upward movement. However, the overall wave structure has not changed just […]

The more we hear positive news from the US economy, the more the market becomes convinced that EUR/USD is moving towards parity. Societe Generale says that if the Federal Reserve does not lower the federal funds interest rate in 2024, the currency pair will plummet to at least 1.05. In this case, consistently low initial […]

Analysis of the GBP/USD pair on April 18, 2024

The wave analysis of the GBP/USD pair remains quite complex but may become simpler in the coming weeks. A successful attempt to break the Fibonacci level of 50.0% indicates the market’s readiness to build a downward wave 3 or C. If this wave continues its formation, the wave pattern will become much simpler, and the […]

GBP/USD. April 18th. Andrew Bailey did not clarify the situation on QE

This channel is small, but the pair may spend some time there. Trading signals should not be sought around the level of 1.2464. The […]
