EUR/USD Pairs Sees Bearish Bias as Fed Rate Hike Expectations Reach New Heights

The EUR/USD pair has been experiencing a challenging period in the short term, declining by nearly 0.81% over the last four trading sessions.

This move has reinforced a bearish bias in favor of the U.S. dollar, with selling pressure remaining in place as markets continue to strengthen expectations of a more aggressive Federal Reserve.

The Fed's decision tomorrow will be crucial, with markets pricing in a greater than 92% probability of a 25-basis-point rate hike, which would lift the benchmark rate from the current 3.75% to around 4.00%.

This expectation has also extended to subsequent policy meetings, with investors assigning roughly a 41% probability that interest rates could rise further toward 4.25%, suggesting the beginning of a more aggressive tightening phase from the Federal Reserve.
