USD/JPY

Trend Theme:USD/JPY advances to mid-148.00s amid divergent BoJ-Fed policy expectations.

Trend Review:USD/JPY climbs to over a one-week high during the Asian session on Friday. The uncertainty over the Bank of Japan’s policy stance, along with expectations that the Fed will stick to its higher-for-longer narrative in the wake of still-sticky inflation, turn out to be key factors lending support to the pair.

XAU/USD

Trend Theme:Gold price consolidates and prints weekly losses after US inflation data.

Trend Review:Gold prices trimmed some of their Wednesday gains on Thursday after traders began to price in a less “dovish” Federal Reserve following a hotter-than-expected PPI report. Consequently, US Treasury bond yields rose, underpinning the US Dollar. XAU/USD exchanges hands at around $2,160.00.
