  • USD/JPY recovers sharply to near 156.50 as Japanese Yen underperforms its major peers.
  • The BoJ refrained from providing a specific policy-tightening path.
  • US President Trump has pushed back fears of imposing tariffs on China.

The heat map shows percentage changes of major currencies against each other. The base currency is picked from the left column, while the quote currency is picked from the top row. For example, if you pick the Japanese Yen from the left column and move along the horizontal line to the US Dollar, the percentage change displayed in the box will represent JPY (base)/USD (quote).

The initial reaction from the Yen was very bullish after the BoJ raised its key borrowing rates by 25 basis points (bps) to 0.5%, as expected. However, it dived later. Only one policymaker, Toyoaki Nakamura, dissented to the decision to tighten the monetary policy further. The sell-off in the Yen came after BoJ Governor Kazuo Ueda’s press conference in which he refrained from committing a pre-defined policy-tightening path.

We don't have any preset idea and the central bank will make a decision at each policy meeting by looking at economic and price developments as well as risks,” Ueda said.

When asked about the impact of United States (US) President Donald Trump’s tariff policies on BoJ’s monetary policy stance, Ueda said, “There's very high uncertainty on the scale of tariffs. Once there is more clarity, we will take that into our forecasts and reflect them in deciding policy."

Though investors have underpinned the US Dollar (USD) against the Yen, it is underperforming its other peers as its risk-premium has diminished significantly. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, slumps to 107.45, the lowest level seen in over a month.

USD’s risk premium has been diminished as Trump has dialed back expectations of tariffs on China. In an interview with Fox News on Thursday, Trump said that he could reach a deal with China without raising tariffs.

Upozorenje o rizicima

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.
