Week`s Main Events
Last week, the "majors" showed a variety of trends. Demand for the US dollar increased significantly after the Fed's decision. The regulator plans to begin cutting assets on its balance sheet in October this year, which is $4.5 trillion. The central bank also published quite optimistic economic forecasts. The probability of increasing the range of the Fed's key interest rate in December of this year increased to 71.4%. Nevertheless, the US currency lost its achievements quite quickly.
