The US dollar fell to its lowest level in almost eight weeks against the euro today. In the financial markets, there is a growing belief that the US central bank (Fed) will no longer raise interest rates. Shortly before 17:15 CET, the single European currency gained roughly a tenth of a percent against the dollar to 1.0740 EUR/USD. It rose as high as 1.0756 EUR/USD during the day, the highest since September 13.

Investors will now be closely watching statements from Fed officials to get a clearer picture of the future course of monetary policy in the United States. A number of officials of the US central bank, including its head Jerome Powell, are scheduled to give speeches this week, Reuters wrote.

The Fed last week left its key interest rate unchanged in a range of 5.25 to 5.50 percent, the highest level since 2001, as expected. It last raised it in late July.

Expectations that the Fed’s interest rate hikes are over were bolstered on Friday by surprisingly weak October US jobs data. However, according to analysts, further growth of the euro against the dollar could limit the relatively weak development of the eurozone economy compared to the US economy.
