USD/JPY clings to mild losses below 135.00 amid inactive yields, mixed mood


23 February 2023

USD/JPY fades bounce off intraday low, prints mild losses to snap four-day uptrend. Treasury bond yields remain lackluster on Japan holiday. Retreat in US inflation expectations joins mixed geopolitical, Fed headlines to probe momentum traders. USD/JPY retreats to 134.80 as bears appear determined to retake control, after a four-day absence, during early Thursday. Even so, Japan’s holiday and hawkish Fed concerns join geopolitical fears to challenge the downside momentum. As a result, the yen pair prints mild losses during the first downbeat day in five.

Starting with the Yen positive headlines, the retreat in the US Treasury bond yields and inflation expectations, per the 10-year and 5-year breakeven inflation rates from the St. Louis Federal Reserve (FRED), seem to exert downside pressure on the USD/JPY price.

Furthermore, hawkish concerns surrounding the Bank of Japan (BoJ), due to the nearness to the end of Governor Haruhiko Kuroda’s term, also weigh on the USD/JPY pair. Alternatively, Fed policymakers are all in for further rate lifts, per the latest Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes, which in turn propels the US Dollar demand. 

Amid these plays, S&P 500 Futures bounced off the monthly low to print mild gains around 4,010 whereas the Treasury bond yields remain sidelined amid off in Japan. That said, the US Dollar Index (DXY) drops 0.20% to 104.35 by the press time. Looking ahead, a lack of major data/events could restrict USD/JPY moves but central bankers’ speeches can entertain the pair traders ahead of Friday’s US Core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index data, the Fed’s favorite inflation gauge.
