1. Forex Market Insight
EUR/USD
As expected, the Federal Reserve raised rates by 75 basis points to 3.0-3.25% this week. The fifth rate hike of the year and its third consecutive 75 basis point hike, with a cumulative rate hike, with a cumulative rate hike of 300 basis points, the highest intensive rate hike since 1981.
The EUR/USD also continued to be under pressure to stay in the historic phase of lows because of the Fed’s big rate hike and the hawkish attitude it has shown towards future rate hikes.

GBP Intraday Trend Analysis
Fundamental Analysis：
The British pound continued to stay near its historic stage lows against the U.S. dollar on Thursday, 22nd September 2022.
This comes after the Bank of England raised its key interest rate by less than the money market forecast.
The Bank of England raised interest rates by 50 basis points on Thursday, 22nd September 2022, raising the target rate to 2.25% from 1.75%, and said it would continue to respond “as strongly as necessary” to inflation, despite the economy entering a recession.
Clearly, this was a dovish surprise as the market almost completely digested the expectation of a 75 basis point rate hike.
However, the fact that three MPC members supported 75 bps may have prevented a sharp dovish revaluation of the GBP curve, which may be one of the reasons why the GBP did not fall sharply after the decision was announced.
