The Fed and ECB aren’t going to quit

 

The Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank dashed dovish hopes by saying that rates will rise longer until inflation returns to its targets. While this conflicted with market expectations for a lower peak rate and potential rate cuts in 2023, it also clouded the upside outlook.

Economists now see a 60 percent chance of a recession in the US and an 80 percent chance in Europe. Stock market analysts downgraded their 12-month revenue estimates to the lowest levels since March and July, respectively.

The most popular currency pair, EURUSD, is continuing its uptrend. However, after a long period of rising, the price will most likely drop slightly. If the price continues to grow, it may reach 1.0780 and head to 1.1000. In case of reversal, the price might drop to 1.0490.
