The Fed Chair Is Steadfast as Steel

This image is no longer relevant

Everyone has already had time to review the results of the recent Federal Reserve meeting. In this article, I want to highlight a few positive points for the U.S. dollar that may serve it well in the future. Currently, demand for the dollar is declining solely due to Donald Trump's tariff policy. However, the U.S. president cannot maintain this level of tension and keep raising the stakes indefinitely. Many economists already believe that the U.S. debt market is guiding Trump. The connection is simple: demand for U.S. Treasury bonds is falling, pushing yields higher. Higher yields mean the government has to pay more in interest, increasing expenses and straining the federal budget. Trump is trying to correct this problem, not worsen it. The market consensus is that Trump is unlikely to significantly raise tariffs in the near term.

What does this have to do with the Fed's monetary policy and the dollar? If it weren't for Trump, demand for the dollar would have grown on Wednesday and Thursday. Jerome Powell has once again shown the world that he does not respond to presidential jabs or outright insults. Trump can say whatever he wants — he has no real levers of influence over the Fed or Powell personally. Technically, Congress can dismiss Powell, but with his term ending next year, such a move would be pointless.

Powell also didn't "jump the gun" or spark panic. He acknowledged that the U.S. economy did slow down in the first quarter, but framed it as a shock response, not a long-term trend. He expects the economy to recover unless Trump makes matters worse with more tariffs. Therefore, there's no need to rescue the economy by cutting interest rates.

Meanwhile, inflation could rise soon. For this reason, the Fed does not consider it appropriate to lower the rate right now. Powell emphasized that he needs more time to assess the effects of the new trade policy. He added that the Fed is in no rush and can afford to wait. Importantly, Powell noted that Trump had already reduced most tariffs to a minimal 10%, so their overall impact on the economy should be limited.

Wave Pattern for EUR/USD:

Based on my analysis, the EUR/USD pair continues building a bullish trend segment. The wave pattern in the near term will entirely depend on the U.S. president's stance and actions. This must always be taken into consideration. Wave 3 of the bullish trend segment is forming, and its targets may extend up to the 1.25 area. Reaching that level will depend entirely on Trump's policy. At this stage, wave 2 in 3 is likely near completion. Therefore, I'm considering long positions with targets above 1.1572, corresponding to the 423.6% Fibonacci extension.

Wave Pattern for GBP/USD:

The wave pattern of GBP/USD has shifted. We are now looking at a bullish impulse wave segment. Unfortunately, under Trump, the markets could face many shocks and reversals that defy wave structure or any technical analysis. The formation of upward wave 3 continues, with immediate targets at 1.3541 and 1.3714. Admittedly, it would be ideal to see a corrective wave 2 in 3 — but it appears the dollar can no longer afford that luxury.

Key Principles of My Analysis:

  1. Wave structures must be simple and clear. Complex ones are hard to trade and often change mid-course.
  2. If you're uncertain about what's happening in the market, it's better to stay out.
  3. There's never 100% certainty in market direction. Don't forget to use Stop Loss orders.
  4. Wave analysis can and should be combined with other forms of analysis and trading strategies.
