Yesterday, the bearish sentiment prevailed on the EUR/USD currency pair. The trading tool has updated the local lows. EUR/USD quotes found support at 1.09450. Mark 1.09700 is already a “mirror” resistance. The focus on trade remains between the US and China. Hopes for a breakthrough in trade negotiations weakened even more after the introduction of new sanctions. Today, investors will evaluate the FOMC protocols, which can indicate the further rate of adjustment of the Fed’s monetary policy. More than 85% of participants in financial markets believe that the regulator will again reduce the range of key interest rates by 25 basis points to 1.50-1.75% at a meeting on October 30. We recommend opening positions from key levels.
