US Monetary Policy

The US Federal Reserve is due to announce its monetary policy today during the New York session. According to the average forecast of different economists, the central bank will keep its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 0.25% amid fragile growth and low inflation. Investors will be eyeing the monetary policy statement very closely for any remarks regarding rate hike. A hawkish stance may incite strong bullish pressure in the US Dollar and vice versa.

Considering the overall technical and fundamental outlook, buying the pair around current levels appears to be a good strategy in short to medium term. The trade should however be stopped out on a daily closing below the 0.6500 support area as described above.
