FXPremiere.com FX Signals GBP/USD Exchange Rate Rangebound as US Markets Await Fed Interest Rate Decision
The Pound US Dollar (GBP/USD) exchange rate held steady today ahead of the US Federal Reserve’s interest decision. The pairing is currently fluctuating around $1.38.

The US Dollar (USD) failed to rise against Sterling as the US Federal Reserve is expected to hold interest rates at 0.25% later on today.

Stephen Stanley, chief economist at Amherst Pierpont Securities LLC, commented:

‘The Fed is trying to convey a very dovish tone as long as the pandemic remains a threat. Until we get to that point, they are going to continue to say the economy is getting better but we need to see more evidence. We are not out of the woods yet.’

As a result, ‘Greenback’ investors are remaining cautious as any dovish comments from the Fed could limit confidence in the US economy.
