  • USD/JPY paira em torno de 148.08 na consolidação do dólar.
  • Os traders fazem apostas mais baixas em cortes nas taxas do Federal Reserve (Fed) em 2024.
  • Prevê-se que o Banco do Japão (BoJ) mantenha o YCC e as taxas inalteradas.

O par USD/JPY foi negociado em território negativo pelo terceiro dia consecutivo durante o início da sessão asiática de terça-feira. A consolidação dos rendimentos do dólar e dos EUA pesa sobre o USD/JPY antes do evento chave. Os participantes do mercado acompanharão de perto a reunião de política monetária do Banco do Japão (BoJ) na terça-feira. O par é negociado atualmente em torno de 148.08, alta de 0.03% no dia.

Traders place lower bets for rate cuts from the Federal Reserve (Fed) in 2024. They stand at 142 basis points (bps) of cuts from 175 bps last week. The markets are pricing in 42% odds that the Fed could lower taxas in March, a slide from 70% just a week ago, according to the CME’s Alimentado watch tool. This, in turn, lends some support to the Dólar americano (USD) and acts as a tailwind for USD/JPY.

On the Japanese Yen front, the Bank of Japan is likely to maintain the YCC and interest rates unchanged at its January meeting on Tuesday. Traders will take more cues from the press conference. BoJ’s Governor Kazuo ueda might offer some hints about when and how the ‘normalization’ process and eventual shift away from negative interest rates will unfold this year. Last week, Japan’s Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 2.3% in December 2023 from 2.5% in November. The report further undermined the odds of a shift in the current monetary policy.

The BoJ interest rate decision and the press conference will be in the spotlight on Tuesday. This event is likely to trigger volatility in the market. Later this week, attention to shift to the US Produto Interno Bruto (GDP) for Q4, due on Thursday, and the Core Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (Core PCE) on Friday. These data and events could keep a clear direction for the USD / JPY par.
