The global currency market is in a waiting phase, with all fluctuations being temporary until an official decision is announced by the Fed. Speculation on the exchanges is focused on the possibility of the Fed cutting interest rates during its December 18–19 meeting, with particular attention to projections for 2025.

Additionally, this week is packed with central bank meetings worldwide. Among major central banks, the Fed, the Bank of England (BOE), and the Bank of Japan (BOJ) are all expected to announce their final interest rate decisions for 2024.

Monetary policymakers in other economies across Southeast Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America are also forecasted to adjust interest rates during their meetings this week.
