The MACD (12,26,9) histogram has shown sustained bearish momentum, with selling pressure evident across recent sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This decline is representative of growing speculation around the Federal Reserve&#8217;s upcoming meeting on September 17-18. Traders remain divided on whether the Fed will pursue a 25-basis-point cut or a larger 50-basis-point reduction. The 50-basis-point cut, though a minority view, has seen renewed attention amidst soft economic data in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Futures markets currently suggest a 60% chance of a 50 bps cut, up from just 15% last week, as investors react to recent data releases and comments from Fed officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back to the chart, technically, the 139.57 level may act as immediate support, but further downside risks are apparent, especially if market sentiment tilts towards a more aggressive rate cut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Also see: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/analysis\/traders-bet-on-feds-next-move-weakening-the-dollar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Traders bet on Fed's next move, weakening the dollar\">Traders bet on Fed&#8217;s next move, weakening the dollar<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/indices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"U.S. dollar index (DXY)\">U.S. dollar index (DXY)<\/a>, which tracks the dollar\u2019s performance against a basket of six major currencies, slipped by 0.3% to 100.69, reflecting the broader weakening of the greenback. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The anticipation of a Fed rate cut has also pushed Treasury yields lower, with the 10-year benchmark yields down 30 basis points in just two weeks, while the two-year yields, which are more closely tied to Fed rate expectations, dropped to 3.55% from 3.94% over the same period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Yen over the dollar, for now<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Selling the dollar for yen has become a popular strategy for traders, especially with falling Treasury yields making the yen more attractive. The narrowing interest rate gap between the U.S. and Japan has fueled this move, especially as the Bank of Japan (BOJ) is expected to maintain its short-term policy rate at 0.25%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Market participants are keenly watching Friday&#8217;s BOJ decision, as the yen\u2019s strength could intensify if the Fed opts for a larger rate cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yen-funded carry trades, which have seen billions of dollars unwound in recent weeks, have been another contributing factor to the yen\u2019s rise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Japan raising rates twice already this year, traders are increasingly favouring the yen over the dollar, particularly as the U.S. is expected to adopt more dovish monetary policies moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Markets now on edge<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Bank of England is also in focus this week, with its policy decision due on Thursday. The central bank is expected to maintain its key interest rate at 5%, following a 25-bps cut in August, marking the beginning of its easing cycle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The outcome will be closely watched, especially as other major central banks, like the European Central Bank (ECB), have signaled a pause in their rate cut cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The euro edged up 0.4% to $1.1114, reflecting the market\u2019s response to the ECB\u2019s recent 25 bps rate cut. However, expectations for further cuts have been tempered by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3iDXc32t8lA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"comments from ECB President Christine Lagarde\">comments from ECB President Christine Lagarde<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The ECB is open to considering an interest-rate cut in October if the economy suffers a major setback \u2014 though the next comprehensive set of information will only be available at the following meeting, President Christine Lagarde says <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/AOZL6lqgxZ\">https:\/\/t.co\/AOZL6lqgxZ<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Bloomberg Economics (@economics) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/economics\/status\/1834557667638902963?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 13, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The market will be listening closely to speeches from ECB officials Philip Lane and Luis de Guindos on Monday to gauge the ECB\u2019s future moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The British pound also rose 0.4%, trading at $1.3170.

A larger 50 bps cut could further weaken the dollar, especially against the yen and euro, as the interest rate gap continues to narrow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, if the Fed opts for a smaller 25 bps cut, the market may see a temporary stabilisation in the dollar\u2019s decline.
