This Week’s Fed Meeting: Pressure on Powell to Sound Dovish, but Not Too Dovish
Ahead of the meeting, investors are expressing concerns about the U.S. economy and whether the Fed would hike further after December. As recent as September, the Fed came out as a little too optimistic about the economy next year. At this meeting, they may come down a little on their assessment of future economic growth. Investors aren’t expecting anything new from the Bank of Japan (BOJ). Look for policymakers to leave its benchmark rate unchanged at -0.1%. Japan is also scheduled to release its latest inflation data. The Bank of England (BOE) is expected to keep interest rates unchanged at Thursday’s meeting. Policymakers are holding back on raising rates at this meeting because of recent mixed economic data and fears over Brexit.

Global Economic Weakness Drives Investors into Safe-Haven U.S. Dollar
Last week, the U.S. government reported on producer and consumer inflation, two factors the Fed will consider this week when deciding on future monetary policy. Investors also had the opportunity to respond to last month’s retail sales data. The dollar’s gains last week may have been limited by increased bets the Federal Reserve might reduce the number of interest rate hikes after a widely expected 25-basis point rate increase next week.

GBP/USD Weekly Price Forecast – British pound breaks major support
The British pound broke down during the week, slicing through the 1.27 level as there was a “no confidence vote” for Teresa May. She did survive it, so that was a brief reprieve for the British pound, but as you can see the trajectory continues lower.

Forex Daily Outlook – December 14, 2018
The Euro continued to trade sideways during the Thursday’s session, as the market looks confused with the Federal Reserve’s stance and some of its comments lately on the interest rate hike. The 1.13 level underneath and 1.1450 level above will be the major support and resistance point for the market. The British Pound rallied a bit during yesterday’s session but is likely to experience significant resistance above as both 200 Day EMA line and 1.27 level has turned resistive.

GBP/USD Price Forecast – British pound short covering ahead of vote
The British pound is seen short covering ahead of the confidence vote for Teresa May and her government. At this point, the 1.27 level above should be crucial, and I think that it is only a matter of time before the sellers come back.

Forex Daily Outlook – December 12, 2018
The Euro tried rallying higher during the Tuesday’s session but failed to break above. The weakness in the market is due to the issues surrounding the European Union which will continue to attract sellers. In the hourly chart, the market has formed a symmetrical triangle, and if it breaks below the bottom of the uptrend line, then it can move much lower probably towards the 1.11 level.
