The pair fell 0.96% in the previous session, settling on Wednesday at 145.72. At 20:30 UTC, USD\/JPY trades -1 % lower at 144.20 and trades in a range of 143.96 to 146.28.<\/p>\n<p>The safe-haven Japanese yen initially dropped sharply on news that the US International Trade Court had blocked Trump&#8217;s trade tariffs, concluding that he had overstepped his powers by invoking emergency laws to justify trade levies. Initially, the market reacted with increased risk sentiment; however, this was quickly reversed as the market weighed up the ongoing uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>While the court has blocked Trump&#8217;s tariffs on trade, the White House is already appealing. This adds to the uncertainty over the outlook for U.S. trade policies, once again increasing safe-haven demand.<\/p>\n<p>Attention is now turning to Tokyo inflation, which is expected to show that cool Tokyo CPI rose to 3.5% year on year in May, up from 3.4%. Hotter inflation supports expectations that the BoJ will hike rates again, keeping JPY supported.<\/p>\n<p>The US Dollar is falling across the board. The US Dollar Index, which measures the greenback against a basket of major currencies, is -0.52% lower at 99.35 at the time of writing, after two days of gains.<\/p>\n<p>The US dollar is falling, giving back earlier gains after disappointing US economic data, raising concerns over the US economic outlook.<\/p>\n<p>Initial jobless claims rose by 240,000, up from 227,000 the previous week, ahead of estimates of 230,000. The data points to a slight uptick in layoffs. Meanwhile, continuing jobless claims also rose to 1.919 million, well ahead of estimates of 1.893 million, highlighting weakness in the jobs market.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, US GDP was revised higher to -0.2%, up from -0.3% annualised in the first quarter. However, analyzing the figures further reveals that US GDP consumption, which is a key component of the US economy, fell to 1.2%, down from an initial 1.8%, this month&#8217;s lowest level in two years.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Japanese Yen (JPY) rises as the market mood deteriorates Tokyo CPI is expected to rise to 3.5% The US Dollar (USD) is falling after weak US data US court blocks Trump\u2019s trade tariffs The US dollar against the Japanese yen (USD\/JPY) exchange rate is falling after four days of gains.
