EBC Forex Snapshot
7 Jun 2024
The dollar hovered close to an eight-week low on Friday ahead of a crucial US jobs report that could provide clues on the Fed’s monetary path. Markets currently price in 50 bps of cuts by year end.
The euro held on to overnight gains after the ECB reduced rates in a well-telegraphed move - the first reduction in five years. Inflation is projected to reach 2.5% in 2024, higher than the previous forecast for 2.3%.
Policymakers offered few hints about the next move. Analysts say the decision is unlikely to be followed by a series of fast cuts as sticky inflation will limit the room for additional loosening.
