The EUR/USD currency pair experienced a notable drop, reaching three-day lows near 1.0430. This decline comes as a result of renewed demand for the US Dollar, commonly known as the Greenback. Investors are keenly preparing for the release of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) Minutes, scheduled for Wednesday, which could further influence market dynamics.
Contributing to the currency fluctuations, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) executed an anticipated rate cut on Tuesday. The RBA's decision aligns with market expectations, yet Michele Bullock, a representative of the RBA, emphasized that this rate cut does not signal the beginning of a series of reductions. The decision reflects ongoing monetary policy adjustments designed to navigate current economic conditions.
In parallel developments, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) is expected to announce a reduction in the Official Cash Rate by 50 basis points. The decision is set for Wednesday at 01:00 GMT. Currently, the Official Cash Rate stands at 4.25%, and market analysts anticipate a drop to 3.75%. This expected adjustment underscores ongoing efforts by the RBNZ to manage economic pressures.
