The ECB Holds Interest Rates With the Fed Expected to Cut. What It Means for Markets.

The European Central Bank held interest rates steady on Thursday, setting the stage for Frankfurt’s top policymakers to trade playbooks with the Federal Reserve. The ECB kept the key deposit rate at 2% on Thursday, as was widely expected. It had held borrowing costs steady at its last meeting in July, having lowered interest rates four times already in 2025.

US dollar retreats as inflation runs warm, jobless claims tick higher

The U.S. dollar weakened against major currencies such as the euro and yen on Thursday, as modestly hotter August inflation data and weaker-than-expected initial jobless claims reinforced the view that the Federal Reserve will resume cutting interest rates next week. In afternoon trading, the dollar was down 0.3% against the yen at 147.09 yen, while the euro rose 0.4% to $1.1738. As a result, the dollar index, a measure of the greenback's value against six major currencies, dipped 0.3% to 97.51.

US dollar falters on rate outlook, yen retreats amid Japan uncertainty

The dollar extended its decline on Monday in the wake of Friday's weak U.S. jobs report, which all but cemented an interest rate cut this month, even as the yen fell after Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba announced his resignation over the weekend. In Europe, the euro showed little reaction to news that France's parliament voted to oust Prime Minister Francois Bayrou on Monday. In Japan, Ishiba on Sunday said he would step down, ushering in a potentially lengthy period of policy uncertainty for the world's fourth-largest economy, the most heavily indebted industrialised nation.

Dollar edges higher with investors focused on labor market data

NEW YORK/LONDON (Reuters) -The U.S. dollar edged higher on Thursday in a volatile week with markets eyeing a crucial jobs report, after data indicating labor market weakness reinforced expectations the Federal Reserve will cut rates this month. Data showed on Thursday that the number of Americans filing new applications for jobless benefits increased more than expected last week, consistent with softening labor market conditions. Furthermore, the ADP National Employment Report showed U.S. private payrolls increased less than expected in August.

Sterling slumps to new low; gilt yields soar

Higher bond yields would usually support the country’s currency, but there are fears that the rising costs needed to support UK government debt could lead to further tax increases or spending cuts, hindering the chances of an economic recovery. Markets "continue to function in an orderly way" and movements in government borrowing costs were being driven by "a wide range of international and domestic factors," he added.
