Yesterday, the USD significantly strengthened against a basket of world currencies. EUR/USD quotes fell by more than 100 points and updated key extremes. The Fed, as expected, lowered its key interest rate range by 25 basis points to 2.00-2.25%. This event has already been priced. At the same time, the head of the Central Bank, Jerome Powell, said that lowering the base interest rate is not the beginning of easing the monetary policy. Additional support for the US dollar was provided by positive statistics on the labor market published by ADP. Currently, the EUR/USD currency pair is consolidating in the range of 1.10350-1.10800. You should open positions from key levels.
