What happened

The Euro strengthened from $1.1383 to $1.1403, and the British pound climbed from $1.32 to $1.3325. This decline occurred as Fed officials indicated that falling oil prices reduce the likelihood of future interest rate hikes.

Why it matters
The currency retreat occurred despite positive US economic indicators. Observers have expressed grave concern over the US government's fiscal policy, noting that spending beyond revenue and rising national debt could lead to severe economic consequences. The FED's monetary policy outlook is a primary driver of the US Dollar's market value.
