🏂 Market Dynamics:
Gains in major currencies were more substantial immediately after the U.S. inflation report showed flat consumer prices in May against market expectations of a 0.1% rise.
The Federal Reserve left the funds rate on hold at 5.25-5.5% with projections for fewer rate cuts this year, impacting the dollar.
Despite the Fed's stance, markets still price in nearly two 25-basis-point rate cuts this year.
🔍Key Insights:
Fed Chair Jerome Powell emphasized sensitivity to economic data, with projections for rate cuts possibly in 2025 or 2026.
The yen struggles against downward momentum due to the significant gap between near-zero Japanese rates and higher U.S. rates.
Market expectations for the BOJ's policy meeting include potential adjustments to bond purchases, leaving the yen susceptible to disappointment if changes fall short.
