USDJPY Weekly uptrend opportunity based on 1 Lot Calculation:
-
EVENT: Friday, June 10 at 13:30 GMT+1 – US Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures for May. It is expected that headline inflation posted 8.1% in May, down from 8.3% in April. Even if inflation eases, which may (not) be the case, it is still extremely high above the Fed’s 2% target level.
-
Lael Brainard, the vice chair of the US Federal Reserve, said yesterday that “right now it is very hard to see the case for a pause” when it comes to interest rate hikes and that another big rate increase in September might be appropriate if inflation did not moderate.
-
Japan's current-account (surplus), as the main driver for the traditional Japanese currency appeal as a safe haven currency, deteriorated because of high oil prices, while the Japanese GDP contracted in the first quarter according to the preliminary data released in the second half of May.
-
Rising US government bond yields push the dollar against the yen higher with the 10-year bond yield again above the 2.9% level.
