The Federal Reserve announced a higher than expected cut of 50 basis points. But the USD was sort of unchanged over the following two days, which suggests that the markets had already factored it in. The next interest rate announcement is scheduled after the presidential elections in the US.
The Analysis
WIth some key inflation related reports like PMI, GDP and interest rate announcements by major currencies, the volatility is likely to continue in the week ahead. Going by the overall trend over the past few months, the US$ is likely to continue weakening.
