US Federal Reserve

Dollar exchange rates fell after the Federal Reserve put to bed speculation that it might be opened to another interest rate hike.

Dollar exchange rates were underpinned by fresh warnings from Jerome Powell that interest rates will need to stay at current levels for longer than he previously expected, but the Fed repricing story might now be reaching its limits.

Fresh uncertainty about the timing and pace of Fed rate cuts this year weighed on markets on Friday as policymakers grew increasingly wary about the inflation outlook.

The Dollar has firmed after a key member of the U.S. Federal Reserve said recent U.S. inflation data prints have disappointed, further cooling market expectations for imminent interest rate cuts.

The Dollar was broadly lower after the Federal Reserve said it still expects to cut interest rates three times in 2024.

The Dollar may surge if the market realises that the Federal Reserve won't cut interest rates in 2024, as now anticipated by a major American money manager.

The Dollar has softened against Pound Sterling, the Euro and other major currencies after the Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged and condoned market expectations for several interest rate cuts in 2024.

Independent economic data aggregator Truflation says U.S. core inflation is becoming "entrenched" amidst a strong labour market and investors should not rule out interest rate hikes.

The Federal Reserve will wait until June before cutting interest rates, but from this point, the pace of rate cuts could surprise markets.

GBPUSD breached 1.27 for the first time since September, but Pound Sterling is left looking technically overbought at the time of writing on Wednesday, suggesting it's time for cool heads to prevail.

The Dollar rose broadly after the head of the U.S. central bank sparked renewed expectations for further interest rate hikes as he expressed concern that inflation would remain too high over the coming months.

The Dollar was softer across the board after the Federal Reserve maintained interest rates at existing levels and signalled little appetite to raise interest rates again.

The Dollar was sold after the Federal Reserve Chair said U.S. financial conditions and tightened considerably and that it might have a bearing on future decisions regarding interest rates.

Pound Sterling will remain under pressure against the U.S. Dollar for some time say analysts following the Federal Reserve's policy update and guidance that suggests a first interest rate cut in 2024 will come later than previously expected.
