Will the US Federal Reserve Cut Interest Rates?

Recent statements from some Federal Reserve officials have indicated that they expect the central bank to continue cutting interest rates throughout 2025, but they did not confirm that they are committed to making the next cut later in December. According to some members of the bank, recent economic data has raised concerns that inflation may remain above the 2% target, but they added that "there is no indication" that prices in major service categories should remain at their current levels or increase.

Overall, the US Federal Reserve has cut interest rates by three-quarters of a percentage point since last September, starting with an unusually large half-point cut. Many officials have indicated support for a more gradual pace of US interest rate cuts in the coming months. The bank's officials had begun cutting US interest rates in September after pushing them to a peak of 5.25% to 5.5%, which helped to ease inflationary pressures from a peak of 7.2% in mid-2022.

This is due to factors such as political and economic concerns in the Eurozone, as well as the reaction to Trump's trade wars and the future of easing the European Central Bank's monetary policy. Recently, political unrest in France has exacerbated market uncertainty. As a result, the EUR/USD has remained under pressure amid fears of a government collapse in France, as Prime Minister Michel Barnier faces a vote of no confidence on a divisive budget plan that includes tax increases and spending cuts.

Overall, over the past month, the euro has fallen 3% against the US dollar and more than 1% against both the pound and the Swiss franc. The parity rate against the US dollar has become a concern for forex investors.
