The USD/JPY pair has witnessed a recovery after last week’s losses, mainly driven by a possible intervention and weak US jobs data. USD/JPY is currently trading at 154.35, up almost three tenths of a percentage point, with the US Dollar gaining momentum after Federal Reserve officials hinted at holding off on interest rate cuts. The higher interest rates in the US, compared to Japan, attract more foreign capital inflows, giving an advantage to the USD and disadvantaging the JPY.

Federal Reserve bank of Richmond Chair, Thomas Barkin, ruled out a rate cut, stating that higher rates are necessary to bring inflation back to target. This has led to fading expectations of interest rate cuts in the US, with analysts projecting the first rate cut to be fully priced in by November. The bullish sentiment for USD/JPY is also supported by the fading expectations of rate cuts.

In a surprising turn of events, Janet Yellen cautioned against Japanese and Korean intervention to prop up their currencies. Yellen suggested intervention should be rare and accompanied by consultation with the US. This has fueled bullish sentiment for USD/JPY, with FX Strategists at Societe Generale stating that her comments suggest a weaker Dollar is not desirable. However, the next move for USD/JPY will likely depend more on CPI data than anything else.

Despite verbal warnings from Japanese authorities regarding excessive Yen moves, USD/JPY bulls need to be cautious of possible intervention that could lead to a slide in prices. Bank of Japan Governor, Katzuo Ueda, who previously stated that a weak Yen had minimal impact on underlying prices, has now shifted his stance, closely monitoring how the weak Yen affects prices. This change in tone may be an attempt to appease business groups unhappy with a weak Yen, hinting that Japanese authorities are still prepared for further intervention.

Japanese currency officials continue to issue warnings regarding excessive or disorderly movements in the FX market, indicating a readiness to intervene if necessary. With ongoing threats of intervention, the road ahead for USD/JPY may be filled with uncertainties. The Japanese authorities’ stance on intervention suggests that USD/JPY’s upward trend could see bumps along the way. Traders and investors in the USD/JPY pair would need to closely monitor economic data and developments in interventions to make informed decisions.
