The Fed and ECB are widely expected to stand pat this month, setting up a high-stakes December meeting that will dictate near-term forex flows. Persistent inflation readings and resilient growth data on both sides of the Atlantic keep tightening on the table, even as policymakers signal patience.
For EUR/USD traders, the pause removes immediate volatility but shifts focus to incoming data releases through November. Any hawkish repricing of December odds could quickly reverse recent currency positioning, making forward guidance from both banks the key driver over the coming weeks.
