Midweek trading ideas: Will Fed decision move markets?

Traders are gearing up for a busy couple of days, with Kevin Warsh’s first interest rate decision as US Federal Reserve chair due today at 7pm (UK time), and the Bank of England’s rate announcement scheduled for midday on Thursday. While policymakers at both central banks are expected to keep rates unchanged, the market will be watching for clues about the future path of monetary policy. Traders have scaled back their expectations of rate cuts in 2026 as lower-than-expected inflation figures have raised the prospect of a more dovish outlook. Against this backdrop, the euro is testing a key technical level against the US dollar, while Brent crude oil has fallen sharply amid hopes for a peace deal in the Middle East.
