This Week’s Key FX Topics
The FOMC kept the FF rate at 3.50–3.75% at the July meeting. With FedWatch pricing in one additional hike within the year, attention turns to the late-August Jackson Hole symposium.
The BOJ raised the policy rate from 0.75% to 1.00% in June and held in July. After the Japan–US coordinated intervention, pricing for a further hike in September has risen to around 80%.
USD/JPY continues to trade in a range from the low 158s to the high 160s. Above 160, expectations of re-intervention—considering the late-July coordinated action—are capping the upside.
Geopolitical risks surrounding Iran sanctions and the Strait of Hormuz are feeding into higher crude prices and upward pressure on US yields, underpinning the dollar.
US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw about $390 million in net outflows in the latest week (8/10–14). Outflows continue from Ethereum ETFs as well.
