JPY and CHF Rose After Fed’s Dovish Message


The Feds Open Market Committee announced after the meeting that it would maintain all monetary policy unchanged, which includes that it would maintain near-zero interest rate level for a long time and it will keep purchasing assets. The 17 current members all agreed that the interest rate should be maintained unchanged until 2021, and 15 of them believed that the interest rate should be maintained unchanged until 2022.To get more news about WikiFX, you can visit wikifx official website.
　　In this interest rate meeting, the Fed not only faced unexpectedly strong recovery of employment data, but also a Nasdaq index that hit a record high, so under this situation, the Fed does not need to add more quantitative or implement controversial negative interest rates. However, in order to stabilize the financial market, Powell chose to release the relevant attitude in a more dovish way so as to continue to maintain a loose monetary policy to appease the market.


　　Affected by the Federal Reserve's slightly dovish post-meeting statement, real-time USDX fell to 95.716. The US dollar also fell against almost all major currencies, while Japanese yen and Swiss franc offered the most impressive performance, likely benefiting from the rather disappointing Dow Jones Industrial Average as safe-haven currencies.
In the short-term, the Yen and the Swiss franc can keep their momentum. The USD/JPY is moving towards 106.00. If it happens to coincide with adjustment of US stock market, the USD/JPY might breach downward to the 106.00 mark and move towards another resistance level of 104.45. The USD/CHF further weakens, basically it has broken through several support levels and it is now moving towards 0.9335. If this mark is lost, it will challenge the March low of 0.9181 again.
