EUR/USD edges higher on Monday as the US Dollar (USD) remains under pressure ahead of the Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s speech, which is scheduled at 17:00 GMT. Investors expect Powell to provide fresh cues about the likely interest rate cut size by the Fed in the November monetary policy meeting.
According to the CME FedWatch tool, the probability of the Fed reducing interest rates by 50 basis points (bps) in the November meeting to the range of 4.25%-4.50% is 41.6% at the time of writing. The likelihood has decreased from nearly 53.0% on Friday after the release of the United States (US) Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (PCE) report for August.
The PCE price index report showed on Friday that the annual inflation decelerated at a faster pace to 2.2% from the estimates of 2.3% and July’s reading of 2.5%. This was the lowest reading since February 2021. However, its impact appeared to be offset by the annual core PCE inflation – which excludes volatile food and energy prices – that accelerated to 2.7% from the former release of 2.6%, as expected, diminishing the odds of a double-dose rate cut in the next meeting.
Lately, Fed policymakers have become more focused on preventing job losses and an economic slowdown, with growing confidence that inflation will return to the bank’s target of 2%. To get fresh insights about the current status of the labor market health, investors will focus on a string of economic data such as JOLTS Job Openings for August, and the ADP Employment Change and Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data for September, which will be published this week.
