The Fed signals a pivot and sends the USD diving
Fed Chair Powell showed optimism about the colling inflation and hinted at the end of the tightening cycle. Beyond that, the economic projections pointed out three 25 bp cuts in 2024, up from two at September’s meeting with 17 out of the 19 policymakers seeing lower rates next year.
