The week since the rate hike from the central banks has ended and if there were risks of the US dollar falling, now they have faded into the background and the market is likely to go further as part of the technical analysis. The ECB raised the rate by 50 basis points, apparently this influenced such a powerful pullback of the euro, which we have seen recently. However, inflation in the euro area is declining rapidly, the market may regard such a signal as the end of the cycle of rate hikes from the ECB, even despite the promises of raising rates by another 50 basis points at the March meeting. For the Fed, the increase was only 25 basis points, but it is clearly not the last, economic data is already strong. On Friday, the US economy unexpectedly created 517,000 jobs in January this year, the most in 5 months. Such an indicator could not remain unnoticed by the market and there was a strong strengthening of the US currency. In the current trading week February 6 — 10, 2023 there is every chance to see the continuation of this trend.
