ING analyst Francesco Pesole stated in a report that if Federal Reserve Chairman Powell hints at further rate cuts when testifying before Congress tonight at 22:00, the dollar may further decline. He said that after Fed directors Bullard and Bowman supported an interest rate cut as early as July, Powell's hinting at a rate cut has increased the risk. The market may interpret any change in Powell's cautious attitude towards rate cuts as a sign that Trump's pressure for rate cuts has "broken through the Fed's independence shield." This could lead to a significant depreciation of the dollar.
