EUR/USD 

U.S. Treasury yields fell on Thursday, 4th November 2021, and the yield curve steepened as markets unraveled expectations that the Federal Reserve will accelerate interest rate hikes.

The day before, the Fed hinted that it is not in a hurry to raise interest rates. Meanwhile, the Bank of England decided to hold off on raising interest rates, causing some of the European bond yields to fall sharply, also helped to push up the price of U.S. bonds.

The market is lifting these expectations of sharp rate hikes early, so the market is starting to realize that, at least from Powell’s speech, the Fed is very serious about remaining patient and allowing inflation to be moderately above target.
