For the current week, the USD/JPY pair has shown a decline, closing Monday's session at 148.675. Investors are speculating on a possible shift in the Bank of Japan's policy away from negative interest rates, which could support a move of the pair towards 145. Consumer confidence in the U.S. and comments from FOMC members are also key factors that could influence the trajectory of USD/JPY.
The focus is on the future direction of the Bank of Japan following higher-than-expected inflation data, with anticipation of further guidance on when this policy shift might occur. On the other hand, in the U.S., a significant drop in consumer confidence could affect spending and thus demand-driven inflation, which would influence the Fed's interest rate outlook. Investors will be attentive to comments from voting FOMC members on inflation and interest rates.
In summary, the market anticipates a possible change in the Bank of Japan's monetary policy and is closely monitoring U.S. consumer confidence indicators and comments from FOMC members, all of which could significantly influence the behavior of the USD/JPY pair in the coming days.
