On Wednesday, in the Fed’s first monetary policy meeting, the US central bank maintained rates unchanged at 0 to 0.25%, while on its forward guidance, signaled that it will start hiking rates “soon,” which spurred a spike on the USD/JPY towards 114.48. At press time, the USD/JPY is trading at 114.27 at 19:22 GMT.
The USD/JPY spiked towards 114.48; meanwhile, the US 10-year Treasury yield shoots through 1.8029%.
In an overview of the monetary policy statement, Fed policymakers expressed that raising the Federal Funds Rate would be appropriate. As mentioned the last year, the Fed increased the pace of the bond taper and would end the Quantitative Easing (QE) by early March.
Despite tightening conditions, the US central bank expressed that it will continue to monitor information for the economic outlook. The Fed said that “supply and demand imbalances related to the pandemic and its reopening” contributed to elevated inflation levels.
The US central bank commented that it “expects that reducing the balance sheet size will commence after the process of increasing the target range for the Federal Funds Rates has begun.”
Regarding the job market, they noted that “job gains have been solid in recent months, and the unemployment rate has declined substantially.”
Putting this aside, the USD/JPY trader’s focus turns to the Fed’s Chairman Jerome Powell, who will be speaking at 19:30 GMT.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
