As widely expected, the U.S. Federal Reserve maintained its policy rate in the 5.25%-5.50% range.
However, the central bank indicated the possibility of one more rate hike before the year-end, and of keeping rates significantly tighter through 2024 than previously expected.
The next piece of inflation data the Fed watches carefully should be the Core Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Price Index, which will be released on Friday (September 29).
According to Trading Central's "Economic Insight", the Core PCE Price Index Growth (August) would tick down to 3.9% on year.
In the past 12 Core PCE Price Index reports, EUR/USD fell in 58% of times (7 out of 12 events) within one hour from the report’s release, marking a trading range of 35.43 pips on average.
