USDJPY | Perspective for the new week | Follow-upIn light of recent data, Thursday's release indicated that U.S. consumer price index (CPI) inflation for July met expectations, mirroring the previous month's trajectory. This outcome has fueled speculation that the Federal Reserve will maintain its current interest rates in September. However, this development has concurrently prompted a reduction in expectations for a rate cut within the current year, leading to the anticipation of sustained rates at their 22-year highs.
Consequently, this adjustment has exerted downward pressure on risk-oriented assets, inducing a sense of caution among investors reluctant to engage with Asian currencies, given the prevailing robust outlook on U.S. interest rates.
As a result, the Japanese yen bore the brunt of this shift, registering a decline to a one-month low during overnight trading, only to stabilize in proximity to the pivotal 145 threshold on Friday. However, it is noteworthy that trading volumes remained subdued due to a market holiday observed in the country.
