Weakness continues amid Trump comments – Commerzbank

The Dollar remains under pressure following comments from President Trump, which have contributed to its decline against other currencies. The Dollar Index has fallen to its lowest level since February 2022, driven by uncertainties over U.S. tariff policies and geopolitical tensions. The focus now shifts to the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting, where no changes to the Fed funds target range are expected, Commerzbank’s Charlie Lay and Moses Lim note.

Dollar under pressure from political comments

“The main theme overnight was the weak USD. Comments from President Trump sent the USD down another leg against an already fragile backdrop.”

“The USD has been under pressure of late, with the Dollar Index at the lowest level in nearly four years. This was due to a combination of factors, including uncertainties over US tariff policies, geopolitical tensions, and uncertainties over Fed independence.”

“However, the damage was done and the sell USD trade gathered momentum. The Dollar Index fell to the lowest level since February 2022.”

Fed rate decision September 2025

Fed rate decision September 2025

The post Fed rate decision September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market. In an 11-to-1 vote signaling less dissent than Wall Street had anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point. The decision puts the overnight funds rate in a range between 4.00%-4.25%. Newly-installed Governor Stephen Miran was the only policymaker voting against the quarter-point move, instead advocating for a half-point cut. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, looked at for possible additional dissents, both voted for the 25-basis point reduction. All were appointed by President Donald Trump, who has badgered the Fed all summer to cut not merely in its traditional quarter-point moves but to lower the fed funds rate quickly and aggressively. In the post-meeting statement, the committee again characterized economic activity as having “moderated” but added language saying that “job gains have slowed” and noted that inflation “has moved up and remains somewhat elevated.” Lower job growth and higher inflation are in conflict with the Fed’s twin goals of stable prices and full employment.  “Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated” the Fed statement said. “The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen.” Markets showed mixed reaction to the developments, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 300 points but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting losses. Treasury yields were modestly lower. At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell echoed the concerns about the labor market. “The marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual in this less dynamic…
