(MENAFN- Daily Forex) After cutting interest rates for the first time in more than a decade in late July, the Federal Reserve announced another rate cut after the monetary policy meeting that ended yesterday. The Fed unveiled its widely expected decision to cut interest rates by another 25 basis points to 2%. The recent rate cut was reinforced by the repercussions of global developments and their impact on economic outlook as well as muted inflationary pressures. The Bank's policy statement was largely unchanged from July, as the Federal Reserve reiterated that the labor market remained strong and that economic activity rose at a moderate rate. In its latest statement, the Fed acknowledged that exports had fallen along with the rate of business investment, although the central bank indicated household spending had risen at a strong pace.
The decision to cut interest rates was widely expected by economists, and was not without opposition from FOMC members. The price of EUR / USD was not affected much by the decision as the price moved from 1.1067 to 1.1013 support and stabilized around 1.1040 at the time of writing. Ahead of the announcement by the US central bank of its monetary policy decisions, inflation in the Eurozone was stable and unchanged as expected.
Last week, the European Central Bank (ECB) announced massive stimulus plans as it cut interest rates and reinstated its bond purchase plans, which was terminated at the end of last year .
