EUR/USD stays consolidative around 1.1370

EUR/USD regains momentum and trades with modest gains around 1.1370 ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The pair sets aside three daily declines in a row and picks up pace on the back of the lacklustre performance of the US Dollar, particularly after US data failed to reinforce Fed rate hike bets.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
