Yen unexpectedly appreciates

According to Lao Dong, on September 23, the Japanese Yen (JPY) increased, bringing the USD/JPY exchange rate to around 147.75. This recovery comes as investors adjust their expectations after a series of statements from officials from the US Federal Reserve (FED).

Last week, the FED cut interest rates as expected but affirmed that it was not in a hurry to continue to ease strongly. Chairman Jerome Powell called it a risk management step, in response to a weakening labor market while inflation remains above target. These statements have caused the USD to lose strength, creating conditions for the Yen to benefit. See more...
