Range trading on Lagarde talk – ING

ING’s Chris Turner highlights a Financial Times report suggesting Christine Lagarde could leave the ECB before her term ends in October 2027, with succession politics linked to French elections. Markets are watching potential successors Pablo Hernandez de Cos and Joachim Nagel. With Asia holidays and light data, ING expects EUR/USD to hold in a tight intraday range.

Lagarde succession chatter, tight EUR/USD band

“Early Europe has seen the Financial Times report that Christine Lagarde could exit her position as President of the European Central Bank ahead of its natural expiry in October 2027. The reasons cited point to a preference for the next ECB president to be confirmed before the French presidential elections next April, so that Emmanuel Macron can still have a say. Expect focus to shift to two of the leading candidates to replace Lagarde: Spain’s Pablo Hernandez de Cos and Germany’s Joachim Nagel, who has even recently welcomed additional common borrowing in the EU.”

“It looks too early for this story to impact the euro yet.”

“With Asia on holiday for the rest of the week and the data calendar relatively light today, expect EUR/USD to trace out a modest 1.1800-1.1850 range. We will also be interested to hear which foreign central banks are signing up to the ECB’s expanded EUREP facility – something which, in theory, should be happening over the next three to four months.”

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
