1. Forex Market Insight    

EUR/USD  

EUR/USD fell below $0.99 at one point, having touched $0.9864 on Tuesday, 6^th September 2022, the lowest since October 2002. 

It ended Wednesday’s, 7^th September 2022, session up 0.8% at $0.9985. 

It is expected that the European Central Bank (ECB) may raise interest rates sharply by 75 basis points on Thursday, 8^th September 2022, but given the blow to the European economy and Russia’s decision to suspend gas deliveries through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline indefinitely, the expected rate hike will do little to support the euro.  

In contrast, a report on Tuesday, 6^th September 2022, showed that the U.S. service sector unexpectedly rebounded in August, supporting the view that the economy is not in recession.
