EURUSD continue to rise after Fed Barkin comments

7:59 PM 19 December 2023

Fed Barkin

  • Inflation is more stubborn than most Fed members think. Nevertheless, Barkin expects inflation to fall further
  • The Fed's actions are very good in terms of the US economic outlook
  • If inflation falls harder, the Fed will react to it
  • Inflation is moving in the right direction, we are making progress here. The pullback in inflation is truly astonishing
  • The economy is more stable than some data suggest

Some of the words from San Francisco Fed chair, Thomas Barkin don't sound very dovish, but looking from a broader context, it is clear that there is room for faster and stronger rate cuts if they are warranted. The dollar is losing today, with yields reaching 3.90%. EURUSD is again approaching important resistance near the 1.10 level.
