🇯🇵 The Japanese Yen continues to decline after attempting to correct Friday’s drop. The Japanese Yen is the worst performing currency of the day and is falling 0.27% against the Dollar. 🇨🇦 The Canadian Dollar also comes under pressure and is the second-worst performing currency of the day. The JPY pressure primarily comes from the BOJ’s dovish stance and the CAD pressure from lower oil prices and US tariffs. 🇺🇸🇨🇳 Scott Bessent and He Lifeng concluded US-China talks covering trade, critical minerals, AI safety and potential tariff reductions on non-strategic goods. Global stocks rebounded in response. 📈 The Euro Stoxx 50, DAX and NASDAQ are the best performing indices of the day so far. Investors advise that they can work through an additional hike, but any uncertainties could trigger a selloff. 🇩🇪 German regional elections increased political uncertainty around Chancellor Merz.HFM

🏦 The BoJ raised its policy rate to 1.25%, the highest level since 1995 and fastest set of hikes since 1990. However, the Japanese Yen declined sharply.📉 The Japanese Yen is currently the worst-performing currency of the day and of the week. Why is the Japanese Yen declining?💴 The Yen weakened mainly because the BoJ decision was split, while the Fed, ECB and other central banks remained relatively hawkish. With two BoJ members voting to pause, markets saw the bank as less aggressive than its global counterparts, reducing support for the Yen.🥇 Gold increased to a monthly high despite Dollar strength and hawkish central bank comments from the Fed, ECB, and BoE. Economists believe this is due to the decline in oil prices and bond yields. However, fundamental analysts have voiced concerns that the Dollar could continue to rise if further hikes are seen.🛢️ Oil dropped for a thirdHfmWhy Is the Japanese Yen Falling After the BoJ Rate Hike?The BoJ raised rates to 1.25%, the highest since 1995, yet the Japanese Yen weakened.

🏦 The Federal Reserve delivered its first rate hike in three years, moving policy into a more restrictive range. The US central bank has raised its Federal Funds Rate from 3.75% to 4.00%. 📊 All members of the Federal Open Market Committee voted for a hike, and the Fed dot plot indicates a further hike helping push the US Dollar higher. 🗣️ Kevin Warsh’s press conference was clearly hawkish, but analysts do not class it as aggressively hawkish. Nonetheless, Mr Warsh told journalists that the economy is strong and becoming more resilient over time. The clear risk remains inflation, according to the Fed Chair. 💵 In response, the US Dollar Index rose 0.70% and is yet to form a bearish correction. Gold fell more than 3.00% due to the Fed’s stance but has since risen back up by 1.40%. Lastly, the S&P 500 fell almost 1.60%, but has almost fully regained its losses. 🇬🇧 The Bank of England isHfmA Hawkish Fed Hike: What’s Next For the Market?The Federal Reserve raises rates to 4.00% as markets interpret the decision and press conference as hawkish.

🏦 Markets are focused on the Federal Reserve’s rate decision and guidance on future hikes. Currently, 93% of investors believe the Fed will hike tonight, but only 43% believe it will hike in October. 💵 The US Dollar Index rose to a new two-week high this morning but has since lost momentum. Oil prices also continue to rise, putting further pressure on the Federal Reserve to continue hiking in the coming months. According to economists, movement in the bond market clearly indicates a hawkish Fed. 📉 Of particular interest to traders who are looking to trade the Dollar long is GBP/USD. The GBP is coming under pressure from the latest weak employment data and expectations of a Bank of England pause. 🇬🇧 UK inflation rose from 2.9% to 3.1%, in line with market expectations. The fact that the inflation rate did not rise above expectations weakens the GBP and further supports a BoE pause. 💱HfmFed Rate Decision in Focus: GBP/USD, S&P 500, and Gold OutlookMarkets brace for the Federal Reserve rate decision as the US Dollar strengthens and GBPUSD, the S&P 500, and Gold trade near key technical levels.HFM

📉 Technology stocks attempt a rebound after declining to a five-week low. However, fundamentals continue to weigh on demand as yields and oil prices rise. The US 10-year bond yield has now reached its highest level since 2007 and risen above the critical 5% mark. 📈 Market indicators suggest investors are pricing in more rate hikes, weaker consumer sentiment, and higher credit risk, with bond yields reaching levels last seen before the 2007-2008 financial crisis. 🥇 Gold forms a slight symmetrical triangle pattern, providing a neutral indication. However, all global metals are trading lower on Tuesday, and Gold may also come under pressure from Dollar strength. 🇬🇧 The UK’s monthly benefit claims have risen by almost 28,000, significantly higher than previous expectations. The figure is also a three-month high and is considerably weaker compared to the latest US NFP data. 💷 The BritishHfmNASDAQ Rebounds as US Bond Yields Break Above 5%Technology stocks attempt to recover as US bond yields climb above 5%, oil remains above $100, and markets prepare for the Federal Reserve decision.HFM
