The U.S. Federal Reserve kept its key interest rates unchanged for two consecutive meetings (September & November). While market expectations are that the central bank is already done with its rate-hike cycle (the most rapid one in decades), investors are looking into inflation data for clues on how long the Fed will keep its rates at current levels.  


According to Trading Central's "Economic Insight", the U.S. Core Inflation Rate (due Tuesday, November 14) will slow down to 3.8% on year in October. 



In the past 12 U.S. Core Inflation Rate reports, EUR/USD rose in 75% of times (9 out of 12 events) within one hour from the report’s release, marking a trading range of 75.74 pips on average.
