Forex Today: Plenty of room for rate hikes, according to Fed’s Powell

What you need to know on Thursday, January 27:

 The dollar is ending Wednesday firmly higher across the FX board, following the US Federal Reserve monetary policy decision.

As widely anticipated, rates and taper were left unchanged,  although the statement indicates that “ the Committee expects it will soon be appropriate to raise the target range for the federal funds rate.” Ahead of the event, most market participants priced in a rate hike in March. There were no mentions to the balance sheet, but market’s were not expecting those.

 Chief Jerome Powell´s press conference was a mixture, as he expressed concerns about the current wave of coronavirus and its potential to damage the economy but also said that he expects inflation to decline over the course of the year. He added that the rate-hike path would depend on incoming data and noted that it is “impossible” to predict, although he also noted that there’s plenty of room to raise rates.

Gold was among the worst performers, shedding roughly $ 30.00 per troy ounce. The bright metal settled at $1,816 a troy ounce. Crude oil prices managed to retain gains, with WTI pulling back from a daily high of $87.92 to end the day at around $86.50 a barrel.

EUR/USD trades around 1.1240, while GBPUSD hovers around 1.3460. The AUD/USD pair nears the weekly low at 0.7089, while USDCAD is currently at 1.2670. The USD/JPY pair trades at 114.60.

Stocks trimmed early gains and turned red, with the DJIA down 154 points after trading up some 400 points ahead of the event.

US government bond yields jumped with the news, with that on the 10-year Treasury note peaking at 1.857%.

Upozorenje o rizicima

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
