The USD/JPY pair showed a V-shape recovery from 140.00 after the Bank of Japan (BoJ) Governor Kazuo Ueda announced an unchanged interest rate decision. BoJ Ueda decided to continue monetary stimulus to spur wages and the overall demand as current inflationary pressures in Japan are majorly contributed by higher import prices.

BoJ Ueda has commented that Japan's headline CPI around 3.5% is due to external, cost-push factors, and cannot be controlled by Japan's monetary policy.

Meanwhile, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is consistently trading in a narrow range above 102.00 amid an absence of potential triggers ahead.

Economists at ING analyzed the USD Index outlook stating that in the short term, the Dollar may well stay soft against most currencies except the Japanese Yen, with the Bank of Japan remaining resolutely dovish. Here, Yen-funded carry trades will remain popular.

USD/JPY is approaching 61.8% Fibonacci retracement (plotted from 21 October 2022 high at 151.94 to 16 January 2023 low at 127.22) at 142.63 on a daily scale. The asset has refreshed its six-month high at 141.50.

Upward-sloping 20-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 139.38 is providing a cushion to the US Dollar bulls.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) has shifted into the bullish range of 60.00-80.00, which indicates that the bullish momentum is active.

Going forward, an upside move above a six-month high at 141.50 will drive the asset toward a 61.8% Fibo retracement at 142.58 and 04 October 2022 low at 143.89.

On the flip side, a confident break below June 06 low at 139.09 will drag the asset toward March 08 high at 137.92 followed by March 02 high at 137.10.

AUD/USD remains above 0.7200 after China's trade data

AUD/USD sits above 0.7200 in the Asian session on Tuesday, near its highest level since May 14. The US Dollar stays under pressure as a rallying Japanese Yen outweighs support from hawkish Fed bets and geopolitical tensions. This, along with firming expectations for another RBA rate hike later this month, acts as a tailwind for the Aussie. However, mixed China trade balance data keep the pair restricted.

USD/JPY stabilizes at around 154.00 as markets assess BoJ outlook

USD/JPY fluctuates at around 154.00 in the American session on Tuesday after rebounding from the six-month low it touched below 153.00 earlier in the day. Nevertheless, the upside attempts resemble technical corrections for now as Japan's upbeat wage growth data and Q2 GDP revision cement bets on a BoJ rate hike next week and continue to support the Japanese Yen.

Gold holds around $4,400, but for how long?

Gold (XAU/USD) remains on the back foot during American trading hours on Tuesday, even as the US Dollar (USD) remains on the defensive.

XRP ticks up as bullish derivatives, EMA support signal breakout

Ripple (XRP) is grinding upward and getting closer to a short-term breakout above $1.40 on Tuesday. This uptick follows the remittance token's defense of support at $1.38, after a short-lived attempt to breach selling pressure at $1.50 last week.

Europe in focus: September 2026

Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight

The Oil market may look calmer than it did a few months ago, but diesel is sending a very different message.
