Markets pause after the U.S. rate cut
Profit-taking capped gains despite policy support
|
Global markets witnessed relative calm and limited pullbacks today, December 17, 2025, amid a natural wave of profit-taking following the strong gains recorded after the U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates by 25 basis points. Despite continued underlying support from accommodative monetary policy, investors chose to temporarily reduce exposure while awaiting greater clarity on the outlook for inflation and economic growth in the first quarter of 2026. |

The U.S. dollar remained broadly stable, while major currencies saw modest declines. Gold held near elevated levels, supported by ongoing hedging demand.
Meanwhile, U.S. equity indices posted mixed performances with a mild corrective bias, without showing any negative reversal signals in the medium term.
EURUSD Technical Analysis
EURUSD is currently trading around 1.1716, following a corrective pullback after its recent strong rally.
The pair is hovering near a key support zone within its short-term ascending channel, reflecting temporary balance between buyers and sellers.
The MACD remains in negative territory but shows signs of slowing bearish momentum, suggesting potential consolidation or a mild rebound in the near term.
Holding above 1.1700 could allow for a rebound toward 1.1760,
while a break below 1.1680 would likely extend the corrective move lower.
Overall Trend: Neutral to slightly bearish
Support: 1.1700 – 1.1680
Resistance: 1.1760 – 1.1790
Outlook: Stability above 1.1700 may support a corrective bounce, while a downside break would reinforce selling pressure.
