December 10, 2024 (Globalinvestorideas.com Newswire) Globalinvestorideas.com, a go-to platform for big investing ideas releases market commentary from Tito Iakopa – Commercial Director at FlowCommunity.
The Japanese Yen retreated against the US dollar as market participants await key data releases in the U.S. and Japan that could shape market direction. Yields rebounded in Japan and stabilized in the US after a period of decline. Stronger yields in Japan could help strengthen the Japanese currency against its US counterpart to a certain extent.
However, persistent US inflation expectations are fueling speculation that the Federal Reserve may adopt a more hawkish stance on interest rates, potentially strengthening the U.S. dollar and weighing on the Yen. However, the anticipated 25-basis-point rate cut at next week’s meeting, combined with rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East could support the Yen.
Domestically, uncertainty around Japan’s monetary policy may limit the Yen’s potential for gains. While Bank of Japan (BoJ) Governor Kazuo Ueda has indicated the possibility of a rate hike, the dovish tone of BoJ board member Toyoaki Nakamura has cast doubt on a policy shift at the next meeting. As a result, the Yen is likely to remain under pressure until clearer signals emerge.
