Caution Over Speed: How the Fed Framed Its First Cut
The Fed cut rates by 25 bps to 4.00–4.25% after a nine-month pause but kept a cautious tone. Powell called it “risk management,” signaling this isn’t the start of a fast easing cycle. The statement flagged growing employment-side risks, and the new dot plot points to a 3.6% median for 2025—implying two more cuts this year, though views are widely dispersed.

USD/JPY Technical: USD strength capped (again) below 148.95 range resistance, BoJ keeps rate hike hopes alive
The USD/JPY rebounded after holding 145.95 support but remains capped by 148.75/148.95 resistance. A dovish BoJ shift, with two officials voting for a rate hike, alongside narrowing US-Japan yield spreads, underpins yen strength. Unless USD/JPY breaks above 148.95, risks lean toward a retest of 146.30 and 145.95, with a daily close below the latter likely triggering a medium-term bearish breakout favoring JPY.

Bank of England holds rates, British Pound slips
The BoE didn't surprise and held rates at 4% at today's meeting. Governor Bailey noted that inflation remains high and the Bank's forecast shows that employment growth is at zero. The Fed lowered rates for the first time in nine months, citing the cooling labor market as the main factor behind the rate cut.

EUR/USD Technical: Euro bullish trend intact despite 1.2% sell-off after FOMC
The EUR/USD hit a 4-year high of 1.1919 after the Fed’s 25 bps rate cut, but reversed to close -0.5% lower as Powell struck a less dovish tone, calling the move a “risk management” cut. The pair extended its decline to 1.1780 in Asia, down 1.2% from the post-FOMC high. Despite the Fed’s cautious stance, futures still price in three cuts for 2026, keeping the dollar under pressure and supporting the euro’s broader uptrend.

USD/JPY Technical: Yen eyeing a medium-term bullish breakout against USD from a 5-month range
USD/JPY remains under pressure, holding near key support at 145.95 after slipping to 146.20 in Asia trade. While the US dollar has broadly weakened in recent weeks, its bearish momentum versus the yen has lagged. With the FOMC decision, dot plot, and Powell’s remarks in focus, momentum signals point to potential further downside. A break below 145.95 may trigger a medium-term bearish move toward 145.20.
