Pair closed last week’s trading session higher on ECB’s interest rate decision. The central bank hiked rates by 0.75% as it was widely expected. Although this rate hike had limited impact on pair. The press conference that followed and the comments from some ECB’s officials were taken as negative and resulted to the pull back of the pair. ECB’s officials are divided on whether the central bank should continue with its aggressive rate hike policy. Some of them are pushing for another 0.75% and some for no more. With ECB’s president Christine Lagarde avoiding to comment on the next rate hike, markets participants have taken this as a warning and weighted negative on the pair, erasing all gains of the day.
As for this week market participants will mainly focus on the FOMC meeting, where the FED expected to hike rates by 0.75% The heavy economic calendar will create a lot of volatility during this week, with main actors the US non-farm payrolls and the European inflation numbers. Investors are bracing for the FED’s rate hike. The 0.75% expected is already priced in. A higher than this could boost demand for US dollar and bring the pair sharp on the downside. A lower than 0.75% will boost the pair on the upside as this will signal a softer approach ahead.

Pair closed last week’s trading session higher on Sunak’s election as new PM. Sunak’s comments were taken positive by markets, as he is willing to bring the UK politics back to normal and fix the economic outlook of the country. Last week’s rally was also fueled by expectation of a 0.75% rate hike in this week’s BOE meeting. The better than expected economic outlook also helped the pair closing higher and opening the road for more gains.
