WORSE-THAN-FEARED U.S. REPORT KICKS THE YEN TO THE CURB!
Buckle up! The unexpectedly bad U.S. reports are giving the dollar rocket fuel! Japan’s yen is feeling the heat as investors ditch this so-called ‘safe haven’ currency in favor of the dollar, which is on fire thanks to skyrocketing U.S. bond yields!
JANUARY INFLATION ON FIRE!
Inflation isn’t just creeping up; it’s blazing! The latest CPI data is OUT and the numbers are shocking! Headline CPI jumped a staggering 0.5%—way higher than the 0.3% everyone was expecting! And what about Core CPI? It shot up to 3.3%—you heard that right, folks, that’s well above the expected 3.1%! This inflation surge means we’re hitting levels not seen since June 2024!
YIELD FRENZY! BOND MARKETS IN A TAILSPIN!
After this explosive CPI report, U.S. bond yields have SEIZED the moment! They’ve skyrocketed at least 10 basis points!

With wage growth jumping by 0.5% and inflation expectations climbing faster than a speeding bullet, the dollar is BACK on top, especially against the flailing yen!
WHAT’S NEXT? HOLD ON TIGHT!
But wait, there’s MORE!

The USD/JPY is automatically climbing, and traders are left wondering just how high it can go! With tomorrow’s PPI data and Friday’s retail sales report on the horizon, it’s going to be a nail-biting week!
TERRIFYING TRADE WARS LOOMING!
As if that wasn’t enough, we’ve got Trump throwing around tariff threats like they’re confetti! Steel tariffs are on everyone’s mind, yet traders seem unfazed, treating it like a game of chicken. But beware! These tariffs could take effect March 4 if a deal isn’t struck, and their impact on the markets could be explosive!
USD/JPY TECH ANALYSIS – WILL IT SOAR?
The USD/JPY has just broken past the 200-day moving average, and it’s primed for a potential breakout! Can it hold steady above that mark? All eyes are on this pair as it teeters on the brink of something extreme—possible climbs towards 155.00 or even higher are on the table!
