The market is waiting for a decision on interest rates, which will be published tomorrow at 21:15. No one doubts that rate will be lowered. The question is whether how they will be reduced. The range of opinions is verifying from 0.5% to 1%, but the majority believes that the Fed will reduce rate by 0.5%.
Besides reducing the interest rate tomorrow there will be published data on Producer Price Index. If the index stays at current points, it could cause much greater decline in the American currency because the Fed will have additional opportunities for lowering the interest rate.
In addition, investors' attention will be drawn to the start of construction of new houses -Housing Starts. This is an advanced rate indicator. It depends on many factors and therefore varies greatly, but if it shows a growing trend for the 3rd consecutive time, it will mean the completion of the negative effects in the construction sector, preceding future growth of the American economy and the strengthening of USD.
