EUR/USD remains below 1.1100, encountering hurdles as likelihood of ECB rate cut increases

The EUR/USD pair is currently attempting to recover losses from the previous session as it trades near 1.1090 during Monday’s Asian session. However, potential challenges lie ahead for the pair, as recent eurozone inflation data have increased the likelihood of a rate cut by the European Central Bank (ECB) at the upcoming policy meeting on Thursday. With headline inflation approaching 2% and long-term forecasts remaining stable around that level, the ECB has ample reason to further ease its monetary policy stance. Additionally, mixed GDP data from the Eurozone last week have only reinforced expectations of a potential rate cut by the ECB.

On the other hand, US economic data released on Friday has introduced uncertainty regarding the possibility of an aggressive interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve (Fed) at its September meeting. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that Nonfarm Payrolls added 142,000 jobs in August, below the forecast of 160,000 but an improvement from July’s figure. Meanwhile, the Unemployment Rate dropped to 4.2%, as predicted, from the previous month. Market analysts are now fully anticipating at least a 25 basis point rate cut by the Fed in September, with the likelihood of a 50 bps cut slightly decreasing.

Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee recently stated that Fed officials are beginning to align with the broader market sentiment regarding a potential rate adjustment by the US central bank. According to FXStreet’s FedTracker, Goolsbee’s comments were rated as dovish, suggesting a growing consensus within the Fed for a policy rate adjustment. As the ECB and the Fed both consider potential rate cuts, the future direction of EUR/USD remains uncertain and will likely be influenced by upcoming economic data and central bank decisions.

The European Central Bank (ECB) in Frankfurt, Germany, serves as the reserve bank for the Eurozone, setting interest rates and managing monetary policy for the region. Its primary mandate is to maintain price stability by keeping inflation around 2%. The ECB achieves this through adjustments in interest rates, with higher rates typically strengthening the Euro and lower rates weakening it. The ECB Governing Council, which includes the heads of Eurozone national banks and six permanent members, makes monetary policy decisions at eight meetings each year, led by President Christine Lagarde.

In times of extreme economic conditions, the ECB may resort to Quantitative Easing (QE) as a policy tool. QE involves the ECB printing Euros to purchase assets such as government or corporate bonds from financial institutions, ultimately leading to a weaker Euro. This measure is typically utilized when traditional interest rate adjustments are insufficient to maintain price stability. The ECB has employed QE during significant crises like the Great Financial Crisis in 2009-11, in 2015 amidst low inflation, and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Quantitative Tightening (QT) is the opposite of QE, occurring after an economic recovery and rising inflation. In QT, the ECB stops purchasing bonds and reinvesting principal, which is generally seen as positive for the Euro.
