Federal Reserve started the wave of USD weakening

USD

The American Fed Reserve managed to cause weakening of its own currency. On Wednesday turned downwards that reflected in EURUSD rise to 1.1250 area on Monday. The same levels are highs of the previous two weeks. Moreover, the current levels are close again to the resistance line of the downtrend, which turned the pair in August and September. Hence, the current marks represent important resistance area. Now it will not be easy for the dollar to turn back to growth, since the key event – Fed Reserve meeting – has shown not that firm attitude of committee members as expected before. Maybe, only US have enough potential for dollar's trend return. However, they will be released in two weeks only. If EURUSD is not able to stay below 1.1250, the further battle may take place only near 1.1400 area. Already during one and a half year, the pair cannot take this level and keep it for some continuous time. The economic data from Europe do not influence significantly the pair's quotes. Only ECB news may cause effective movement for . And now, two weeks beforehand we have received unexpectedly quite unusual shift from the ECB. The bank pointed out, more transparently than earlier, that the next step should be from the side of fiscal policy and not the monetary one. The bank itself did not look ready to widen stimulus actively. On the contrary, Fed Reserve does not look ready to increase rates. Therefore, they need quite strong data from the USA to break the trend of dollar weakening, and it is better to have hawkish comments of officials. Most probably, in such conditions USD will slowly step back in EUR USD pair to the area of the important resistance at 1.1400 level.

The pressure for the pound caused again by the talks about Britain exit from the EU, but not the weak economic data. As a whole, macroeconomic statistics of the country is better than expected.
