USDJPY Forecast: Insights for the New Week & Follow-Up Analysis

darcsherry Updated   
FOREXCOM:USDJPY   U.S. Dollar / Japanese Yen
The Japanese economic docket reveals that consumer price index (CPI) inflation remained stubbornly high through June, despite government measures to curb prices. This has raised the possibility of the Bank of Japan (BOJ) tightening monetary policy. However, BOJ policymakers are cautious and prefer to analyze more data to ensure sustained growth in wages and inflation before making any changes to the yield control policy. Reports indicate that there is no consensus within the central bank, making the decision a close call. Nevertheless, recent reports suggest that the BOJ may lean towards maintaining its yield curve control (YCC) strategy in the upcoming policy meeting.

With Japanese inflation staying above the BOJ's target, there have been speculations about the central bank potentially abandoning its yield curve control program, a move that could strengthen the yen.

On the other side, the US dollar has made a sharp recovery from 15-month lows ahead of a Federal Reserve meeting, leading traders to seek safe-haven assets. The market remains uncertain about whether the Fed will signal a pause in its rate hike cycle despite the expectation of a 25 basis points interest rate hike.

As we shift our focus to the upcoming week, all eyes are on high-impact economic features from both the US and Japanese economies that could significantly impact the USDJPY market.
