USD/JPY rebounds from nine-month lows following US inflation data release

The USD/JPY pair bounced off almost-yearly lows following the release of US inflation data, which showed inflation falling at a broadly expected pace but reduced the probability of a 50 bps rate cut from the Fed. Support for the Japanese Yen (JPY) came from comments by Bank of Japan (BoJ) official Nakagawa hinting at an interest rate hike. The US Dollar (USD) appreciated after the data suggested a more measured approach to easing from the Federal Reserve (Fed).

The US data revealed that consumer prices mostly rose in line with expectations in August, although the annual change in the headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) undershot economists’ expectations. Core CPI also rose as expected, but monthly core CPI rose by a higher-than-expected 0.3%, indicating some stubbornness in core prices, particularly dwelling prices. The data suggested that inflation remains sufficiently high for the Fed not to implement a 50 bps cut at its next meeting, with the probabilities of a 50 bps cut falling to only 15%.

As the chances of a larger cut in US interest rates diminished, the USD strengthened and USD/JPY rose. Higher interest rate expectations are usually supportive of a currency as they lead to higher foreign capital inflows. On the other hand, the Japanese Yen (JPY) traded firm after comments from BoJ Board member Nakagawa hinted at another rate hike. Japan’s Labor Cash earnings for July also exceeded expectations, supporting the case for further normalization of BoJ policy.

Analysts expect the Fed to take a measured approach to cutting interest rates, given that inflation appears to have been successfully managed but housing inflation remains stubborn. With a 25 bps cut remaining fully priced in, the focus has shifted away from a larger 50 bps cut. The USD/JPY pair rebounded following the data release, trading just below 141.00 after dipping to a new nine-month low. The USD appreciated amid prospects of a more balanced approach to easing by the Fed, while the JPY remained firm on potential interest rate hikes.

Overall, the USD/JPY pair’s movement was influenced by the release of US inflation data, with the USD strengthening and the JPY remaining firm. The data showing that inflation remains relatively high reduced the likelihood of a 50 bps rate cut from the Fed, leading to a more measured approach to easing. Comments from BoJ officials hinting at potential rate hikes and strong economic indicators from Japan contributed to the firmness of the Japanese Yen. As market participants digest the latest developments, the USD/JPY pair continues to fluctuate based on economic data and central bank commentary.
