After previous Fed minutes markets volatility didn't surged

6:52 PM 16 August 2023

EURUSD ended after 6 hours rather lower in the latest minutes releases, although on average EURUSD gained, but this is the result of reactions from October, November and January.

The July minutes following the June decision did not bring volatility to the US500. In contrast, we saw a sizable increase in May, but for the most part the US500 lost during the minutes, including during the first minutes after the publication. Source: Bloomberg Financial LP

It is worth remember that we have heavily oversold markets today: the EURUSD and the US500, so there is potential for profit-taking if the minutes are dovish. However, if they point to the need for more hikes, these markets could fall into a further downtrend this week.
