美联储维持利率不变,并维持今年三次降息的预测。 美联储主席鲍威尔在发布会上回答提问,表示经济处于强势地位,这赋予美联储货币政策的灵活性。 受此消息影响,美元暴跌,欧元跃升至1.0900上方,而尽管通胀消息疲软,英镑仍升至1.2770。 英国通胀数据下降幅度超过预期,从 4% 降至 3.4%。 通胀数据的暴跌可能将确保英国央行在今年晚些时候决定降息。 英国央行的利率决定可能会效仿美联储,维持当前利率不变,但前景“鸽派”。 在美联储发布最新消息后,美国股市飙升至创纪录水平,提振了信心。
美元疲软使得商品货币有所回升,澳元升至0.6570,而纽元则挣扎于0.6050上方。 尽管美元走软,但在我们关注重要的新西兰 GDP 增长数据时,新西兰元仍面临压力。
The Fed left rates unchanged and projections of three rate cuts this year remained. The Federal Reserve Chairman Powell answered questions and commented the economy was in a strong position and gave the Fed flexibility on monetary policy. The US Dollar plunged on the news, with the EUR jumping above 1.0900, while the GBP pushed up to 1.2770 despite softer inflation news. The UK inflation number fell more than expected, to 3.4%, from 4%. The tumbling inflation data will probably ensure that the Bank of England will decide to cut rates later in the year. The Bank of England rate decision is likely to emulate the Fed, holding current rates, but with a ‘dovish’ outlook. US equities surged back towards record levels, following the latest news from the Fed, rallying confidence.
The weaker reserve allowed some recovery in the commodity currencies, with the AUD pushing up to 0.6570, while the NZD struggled above 0.6050. The NZD remains under pressure, despite the softer US Dollar, as we look towards the important NZ GDP growth data.
