1. Forex Market Insight
EUR/USD
EUR/USD fell below $0.99 at one point, having touched $0.9864 on Tuesday, 6th September 2022, the lowest since October 2002.
It ended Wednesday’s, 7th September 2022, session up 0.8% at $0.9985.
It is expected that the European Central Bank (ECB) may raise interest rates sharply by 75 basis points on Thursday, 8th September 2022, but given the blow to the European economy and Russia’s decision to suspend gas deliveries through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline indefinitely, the expected rate hike will do little to support the euro.
In contrast, a report on Tuesday, 6th September 2022, showed that the U.S. service sector unexpectedly rebounded in August, supporting the view that the economy is not in recession.
