USD-
The Dollar rallied 0.67% yesterday following the Fed's well expected 0.25% interest rate cut. This sounds like a counterintuitive, but the devil, as always, is in the detail, with Chairman of the Fed Powell coming out after the decision to strongly state that a December cut was "far from guaranteed".
Just as I had been hinting at, anything less than an emphatic statement of intention to cut would soften down expectations. And that is exactly what has happened, with expectations falling from 98% sure of a December cut to just 71%, making traders quickly readjust positions to cover the case of no-cut.
This has then triggered a rally in USD, that has been borne out yesterday and today.
