USD/JPY bias flipped 30 times to neutral on August 12, 2026
The Japanese Yen has slipped to a two-week low as the US Dollar firms ahead of today's US CPI release. Yen weakness is compounded by fiscal concerns and rate differentials, with the currency giving back some of the gains from Tokyo's earlier intervention. Markets are focused on the inflation data for cues on the next Fed move.
