Japan's consumer price index (CPI) data came in higher than expected, reinforcing expectations that the Bank of Japan (BoJ) could continue its monetary policy normalization process. This is putting pressure on the US dollar and supporting the Japanese yen (JPY).
Meanwhile, on the trade front, Japanese negotiator Akazawa began a third round of talks with US officials – including Greer and Lutnick – and is expected to return to the US on May 30 to meet with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. These are notable moves in the context of trade relations between the two economies still in a sensitive phase.
On the diplomatic front, Japanese Prime Minister Ishiba had a 45-minute phone call with US President Donald Trump last night to exchange views on tariff policy. However, the call did not go into specific details. It is expected that, depending on the situation, Mr. Ishiba may meet directly with President Trump next month.
In the market, the USD/JPY pair continues to trade in a mild downtrend. The daily momentum is tilted to the downside, with the RSI also moving down. Important technical support is located at 142.40 and 142, while resistance is at 144.40–144.60 (near the 21-day moving average and the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level) and 145.80 (50-day moving average).
The current strategy of the analysts is to keep the short position of USD/JPY opened from 148, with a target of falling to the 141 area. The stop loss is placed at 151. This shows that the market expectations are leaning towards the further downward trend for USD/JPY in the short term.
