EUR/USD focus on the FOMC meeting

Spot is advancing for the second consecutive session so far, although the current strong upside will be put to test tomorrow, as the FOMC will hold its monetary policy meeting. Despite there won’t be a press conference, market participants will scrutinize the statement looking for cues regarding the probable timing of the rates lift-off, all against the backdrop of poor US results as of late.

Preceding the FOMC event, EMU’s credit figures, Business Climate, Economic Sentiment and preliminary inflation figures in Germany are also to be published in the region, while the first revision of the US GDP Annualized during Q1 and PCE will be released across the pond.
