The Japanese Yen (JPY) remains stable following the release of the latest inflation data on Friday. Japan's National Consumer Price Index (CPI) for June held steady at 2.8%, matching the previous month's figure and remaining at the highest level since February. Meanwhile, Core CPI inflation rose to 2.6%, slightly above the previous reading of 2.5% but just below the consensus estimate of 2.7%.
Japan’s 10-year government bond yield trades at approximately 1.04%, recovering from three-week lows. This rebound follows Digital Minister Kono Taro's statement to Bloomberg that the Bank of Japan (BoJ) should raise interest rates again in July to support the Yen. Additionally, the BoJ is anticipated to show its bond purchase tapering plans this month.
The USD/JPY pair has retreated by as much as 4% from a 38-year high of 161.95 during July. Analysts attribute this decline to interventions by Japanese authorities. Traders remain vigilant about the possibility of further interventions.
The US Dollar receives support from a slight improvement in US Treasury yields. However, the greenback may limit its upside as soft labor data bolster market expectations of a September rate-cut decision by the Federal Reserve (Fed).
USD/JPY trades around 157.40 on Friday. The daily chart analysis indicates that the USD/JPY pair is below its 9-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), suggesting short-term downward momentum. This implies waiting for signs of a trend reversal before buying. Additionally, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is below 50, confirming a bearish bias.
The pair could find key support around June's low of 154.55. A break below this level could push the pair towards May’s low of 151.86.
On the upside, immediate resistance is noted around the 9-day EMA at 158.25. If the pair breaks above this level, it could revisit the pullback resistance around the psychological level of 162.00.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
