Here is what you need to know on Thursday, June 18:
The US Dollar Index (DXY) surged toward the 100.40 level on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) June policy decision, in which the central bank left interest rates unchanged at 3.50%-3.75%, as widely expected, in Kevin Warsh’s first meeting as Fed Chair.
Despite the expected hold decision, the Fed struck a hawkish tone by removing its previous reference to “additional rate adjustments” from the statement, a shift markets interpreted as a move toward a more cautious, data-dependent stance.
Fed policymakers now see US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth at 2.2% in 2026, down from the 2.4% projected in March, while longer-run growth was left unchanged at 2.0%. The dot plot also reinforced a cautious policy outlook. The median projection for the federal funds rate at the end of 2026 rose to 3.8%, up from 3.4%, signaling that officials now see a possible rate hike this year.

EUR/USD came under pressure near an eight-week low near 1.1500, as a stronger Greenback weighed on the pair. The Euro also remained cautious after European Central Bank (ECB) policymaker Olaf Sleijpen said that a repeat of 2022’s inflation problems appears less likely but cannot be excluded, adding that the key issue for Eurozone monetary policy is the risk of second-round effects.
GBP/USD fell sharply to a two-month low near 1.3270 amid broad US Dollar strength. Traders remain focused on the Bank of England (BoE) interest rate decision on Thursday, with the central bank expected to hold rates at 3.75%.
USD/JPY skyrocketed near a two-year high at the 160.80 region after the Fed decision. The pair benefited from renewed demand for the US Dollar as Warsh emphasized the need for more confidence that inflation is moving sustainably toward the 2% target.
AUD/USD lost ground near 0.7000 as improved risk sentiment offered some support to the Australian Dollar. Market mood improved partially after US President Donald Trump defended the ceasefire framework with Iran, saying the Strait of Hormuz had reopened and warning that bombing could resume if Tehran “acts up.”
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Oil prices remained neutral near $75.40 per barrel, as data showed several Iranian Oil tankers had passed through the Strait of Hormuz following the US-Iran framework deal, raising expectations that Middle East supply could return to the market. However, geopolitical risks remain high, limiting the downside for crude.
Gold fell sharply near $4,240 as the US Dollar surged following the Fed decision. The precious metal remained supported by geopolitical uncertainty, but higher US yields and a more cautious Fed tone limited demand for the non-yielding asset.
