# EUR/USD weakens as Fed sees no rush for interest rate cuts

> EUR/USD fell toward 1.0830 after the Federal Reserve held its policy rate at 4.25%-4.50% and signalled no rush to cut. The Fed also raised its core PCE inflation forecast to 2.8% and lowered its GDP growth forecast to 1.7%, citing tariff effects.

## Why it matters

A Fed signal of fewer rate cuts supports the dollar, which can pressure dollar-denominated grain and meal prices and make US exports less competitive. Slower US growth forecasts also point to softer long-run industrial and energy demand.
