Good morning,
We are approaching the last US Rate decision this year and the last one under President Biden. A 25 basis point cut is pretty much done and dusted at 96% probability but many are expecting a hawkish cut – implying the path may be not as hawkish as thought. Please find Charu`s preview here: Fed Preview: Rate Cut on Deck, But With 2025 Caution
- Donald Trump lost a bid to overturn his criminal conviction for paying hush money to Stormy Daniels but Softbank announced it would invest USD100 Bio in the US in the next 4 years at a press conference with Donald Trump

Markets are fairly quiet, the Dow stayed on it`s losing streak at -0.25%, big Tech held up the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq up 0.4% and 1.25%, Tesla added more than 6% and has more than tripled from the Low in May. is Google gained 3.6%. Despite there being little news, volumes were massive at 15 billion against an average of 14 billion.
EURUSD is at 1.05 as the US 10 Year Yields remain near the important technical resistance at 4.40, the key this week will be the question if that resistance will hold or if the US rate decision and the PCE push it higher., that would boost the USD and could be the catalyst for a strong move that many traders expect. A less hawkish Fed and weaker data could do the opposite.
Today, watch the Euro and the Dax with the IFO and ZEW Indexes, later in the day, the US Retail sales will be important.
