The federal reserve released the interest rate decision and policy statement after the end of the FOMC meeting. This time, the federal reserve evaluated the market and economic conditions in accordance with the established procedures and kept the interest rate unchanged, in line with market expectations. But at the Fed's press conference, the chairman revealed that would cut interest rates coms economy half of this year, with the market estimating cut 0.5 per cent in July and September. The dollar fell as markets assessed the direction of federal reserve interest rates. Interest rate cut expectations rose, bullish stocks, crude oil prices and gold prices. Expecting that, keeps the trend continues in Asian and European markets today.

 

In European markets will look to the UK retail sales rate in May and the BOE interest rate decision and minutes.
