USDJPY: Movements in a volatile market!
The hurdle for raising rates this month is higher, implying fresh US Dollar falls
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) report is the final significant piece of information before the bank's decision. However, it's doubtful that it will alter the current situation. The bank's inclination to take a break, as indicated by May's Nonfarm Payrolls and echoed by Fed Chair Jerome Powell, suggests that they will stop raising interest rates. As bond markets haven't priced in this possibility entirely, there's potential for the US Dollar to weaken further in conjunction with returns on US debt.
