Fed Signals Rate Hike Pause Weighs on Dollar

The recent Federal Reserve meeting has left markets reassessing their expectations for rate hikes. Despite no change in interest rates, communication from the central bank emphasized caution and slower economic growth in the US. This shift in Fed sentiment has reduced market pricing for further rate increases.

The current narrative is mixed: on one hand, lower rate hike expectations weigh on the dollar; on the other, the US economy's resilience allows the Fed to maintain elevated interest rates. Eurozone inflation data today will be a key signal for future ECB decisions and could impact EURUSD.
