Should We Keep an Eye on Currency Strength and Weakness Ahead of the FOMC Meeting?

15.06.2022

Today's Highlights
  1. U.S. FOMC Policy Rate and Statement Announcement
  2. Press Conference by U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Powell

U.S. currencies rose the previous day on the back of a firm dollar index, and the GBP/USD pair fell by approximately 270 pips from 1.2209 to 1.1931.In the UK employment statistics released yesterday, the unemployment rate (ILO standard) worsened to 3.8%. The combination of the pound’s decline and the US dollar’s rise led to a sharp drop. During today’s Asian trading session, the pair is also falling with the 20-period moving average (MA) acting as resistance, so we should remain cautious of further downside.

Among European currencies, the euro held its ground against the U.S. dollar. While the GBP/USD fell nearly 300 pips, the EUR/USD traded in a range of 80 pips between a low of 1.0396 and a high of 1.0485, moving back and forth.Since the EUR/USD pair has held above the 1.0396 support level on the 4-hour chart, we will be watching closely to see if it rebounds following today’s FOMC announcement.

Today’s schedule includes Swiss producer and import prices at 15:30, the French Consumer Price Index (final reading) at 15:45, Turkish housing prices at 16:00, and at 18:00, EurozoneEurozone Industrial Production and Trade Balance, at 18:15: Remarks by Nagel, President of the German Federal Bank, at 20:00: U.S. MBA Mortgage Applications Index, at 21:30: U.S. Retail Sales and U.S. New York Fed Manufacturing Index, at 22:00: Canadian Existing Home Sales,23:30: U.S. weekly crude oil inventories; 25:20: Remarks by ECB President Lagarde; 27:00: Announcement of the FOMC policy rate and statement; and 27:30: Press conference by Fed Chair Powell.We should pay close attention to the results of the FOMC meeting, which will be announced in the early morning.
