  • EUR/USD edges lower to near 1.1120 in Wednesday’s Asian session. 
  • The cautious sentiment lifts the US Dollar, but more dovish remarks from the Fed might cap its upside. 
  • Investors will closely watch the FOMC Minutes on Wednesday for fresh catalysts. 

The EUR/USD pair loses momentum around 1.1120, snapping the three-day winning streak during the early European session on Wednesday. The cautious mood in the markets ahead of the July Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) Minutes meeting minutes on Wednesday provides some support for the Greenback. 

The FOMC kept the Federal Funds rate unchanged between 5.25%-5.50% at its July meeting. During the press conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell noted that a rate cut could be on the table if inflation continues to ease. The dovish tone of the meeting drags the Greenback lower in the previous sessions. However, the cautious mood ahead of the key event boosts the safe-haven currency like the US Dollar (USD) and creates a headwind for EUR/USD

On Friday, traders will shift their attention to Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium about further clues on the Fed’s plans. Financial markets have priced in nearly a 67.5% possibility of the Fed cutting interest rates by 25 basis points (bps) in September, according to the CME FedWatch Tool.
