After a sharp reversal in USD/JPY, reminiscent of past Japanese intervention, questions arise about potential FX market meddling. Risk appetite remains strong, particularly favoring the AUD, amid crucial upcoming US data releases.

In a recent market update, attention was drawn to the heightened volatility in USD/JPY, suggesting possible intervention by Japanese authorities to counter the yen’s decline against the dollar. The breach of the 160 mark in USD/JPY, a significant move, signals potential intervention efforts. Factors such as inflation trends and interest rate differentials between the US and Japan have influenced USD/JPY’s climb towards 160, with market players showing a preference for the carry trade strategy.

The update also highlighted broader market sentiment, including movements in currencies like the Australian dollar and British pound, alongside upcoming key economic events such as the FOMC rate decision and Non-Farm Payrolls report. Additionally, it mentioned gold’s response to geopolitical tensions and the optimistic outlook reflected in the S&P 500’s performance, buoyed by strong tech earnings.
