USD/JPY has risen steadily in line with rebounding US treasury yields since Thursday’s early session when it touched a 144.50 low. Economists at ING analyze the pair’s outlook ahead of today’s speech by Fed Chair Jerome Powell at the Jackson Hole Symposium.
Tokyo inflation slows
Inflation figures for Tokyo showed a deceleration in price pressures which were in line with the Bank of Japan estimates and slightly below consensus. Inflation in the capital moved below the 3% mark in August for the first time since September 2022, essentially endorsing the BoJ’s reluctance to scale back monetary easing.
We think that a hawkish tone by Powell is largely priced in today, but should be enough to keep USD/JPY around 146.00 for today.
