This upward movement was fueled by a modest recovery in the US Dollar (USD) and remarks made by US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen regarding potential Japanese interventions from the previous week. Currently, the pair is hovering around 153.55, marking a 0.35% gain for the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over the weekend, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen acknowledged the significant fluctuations in the Japanese Yen&#8217;s value but refrained from confirming whether Japan had intervened to support its currency. Yellen&#8217;s stance on potential Japanese interventions has exhibited variability over the past couple of years, often highlighting the importance of a Group of Seven consensus favoring market-driven currency rates. She stressed that interventions should primarily aim to reduce market volatility rather than manipulate currency values. In contrast, Japan&#8217;s Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki has not verified any interventions, according to Bloomberg reports.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The speculation surrounding a potential interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) in September has intensified following the release of weaker-than-expected US employment data. This has contributed to some selling pressure on the Greenback. According to the CME FedWatch tool, traders are currently pricing in an 85.5% probability of no change to the Fed&#8217;s fed fund rate in June, while the likelihood of a rate cut in September has surged to 90%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The latest US employment report, released last Friday, provided indications of a slowdown in the US economy. Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) increased by 175K in April, down from 315K in March (revised from 303K), falling short of the estimated 243K. This marked the lowest increase since October 2023. Additionally, the Unemployment Rate rose to 3.9% in April, while Average Hourly Earnings experienced a 3.9% year-on-year decline. Furthermore, the US ISM Services Purchasing Managers&#8217; Index (PMI) fell into contractionary territory, decreasing from 51.4 in March to 49.4 in April, below the market consensus of 52.0. These indicators collectively suggest a potential slowdown in the US economic recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>USD\/JPY Ends Three-Day Slide Above 153.50 as Yellen Warns on Currency Intervention The USD\/JPY pair staged a notable reversal during Monday&#8217;s Asian trading session, breaking a three-day losing streak.
