The EURUSD rate continues to edge slightly higher, reaching 1.1736 on Thursday. Some relief came after the US Supreme Court scheduled hearings for January on the case involving President Donald Trump’s attempt to remove Federal Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook.
Concerns over the Fed’s independence intensified after Trump accused Cook of mortgage fraud and called on the Fed to accelerate rate cuts.
Additional pressure on the US dollar comes from the first government shutdown in nearly seven years, triggered by Congress’s failure to agree on temporary funding. The shutdown is expected to last at least three days and delay the release of key macroeconomic data, including the September jobs report.
ADP reported an unexpected decline of 32 thousand in private sector employment in September, compared to a forecast gain of 50 thousand. The figures were explained by adjustments linked to missing values in the quarterly census of employment and wages.
The EURUSD forecast is moderately positive.
On the H4 chart, the EURUSD pair is consolidating within the 1.1708–1.1780 range after late September’s decline. The pair is hovering near 1.1735, while Bollinger Bands have contracted, indicating lower volatility.
The Stochastic Oscillator is near the oversold zone, signalling a potential local rebound, while MACD remains in negative territory, confirming an ongoing phase of uncertainty.
