Forex traders have put their feet up, in the absence of 'stats' and in anticipation of the Trump Harris debate on ABC in the evening in the USA.
The Dollar Index appreciates slightly (+0.2% to 101.75E) and tests a resistance zone which blocked its ascent from August 30 to September 4.

The euro is down -0.15% at 1.1020, as is the pound at 1.3050, while the dollar is down -0.2% against the Swiss franc and -0.3% against the yen (at 142.7).

Forex traders are reluctant to get too involved, as they await tomorrow's release of US consumer prices (CPI), which could provide further information on the Fed's intentions.

The probability of a rate cut of 50 basis points on Wednesday September 18 is estimated at 29%, while it rises to 71% for a cut of 25 basis points, according to CME Group's FedWatch barometer.

In Europe, the ECB is expected to lower its key rate by an unsurprising -2 basis points this Thursday.
