Market News Highlights

The dollar rose across the board, particularly against the Japanese yen, reaching its highest level since mid-1990 after US inflation rose more than expected in March. This pushed out the expected timing of a first rate cut to September from June. US stocks tumbled to a lower close after hotter than expected inflation data dampened hopes of an early Federal Reserve interest rate cut. Gold prices held steady near a record high as a mix of emerging inflationary risks and geopolitical tensions supported the safe-haven metal.

The yen is advancing on three fronts

The yen surged on three simultaneous tailwinds: BoJ rate hike expectations rising to 90% with speculation of a 50bp move, rumours of currency intervention, and an extraordinary GPIF meeting fuelling speculation of a portfolio shift toward domestic bonds. Falling Treasury yields and weak ADP data added further pressure on the dollar, pushing USDJPY sharply lower.
