Abstract:US overnight core CPI in April experienced the sharpest month-on-month decline in history, falling 0.8% after seasonal adjustment to a record low since November, 2008, while core CPI shrank 0.4% annually.
May 13th, from WikiFX news. US overnight core CPI in April experienced the sharpest month-on-month decline in history, falling 0.8% after seasonal adjustment to a record low since November, 2008, while core CPI shrank 0.4% annually.
Facing the recession caused by the pandemic, US Federal Reserve lowered benchmark interest rate to nearly zero on March 15th, while multiple Fed policymakers noted that the Fed will take all necessary measures to alleviate economic impact of the massive lockdown measures.

The European Central Bank (ECB) introduced negative interest rates earlier in June, 2014, reducing the deposit interest rate to -0.1% to revive economy. The Bank of Japan (BOJ) implemented negative interest rates in January, 2016, mainly to prevent the yen ‘s unpopular appreciation from damaging the country’s export-dependent economy.

Portfolio Manager Leah Traub said that if the US and Japanese policies do not change, the yen is unlikely to continue to strengthen. Currently, the yield difference between 10-year US and Japanese government bonds is still far above the average level of the past decade. Although the Bank of Japan has raised the short-term policy rate, the market sentiment towards the yen is still low, and the bearish yen positions are dominant. Data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission shows that specul
The dynamics of the U.S. economy and labor market, as well as changes in inflation expectations, have profound implications for Federal Reserve policy decisions. Market participants are closely monitoring upcoming economic data releases and statements from Fed officials to capture signals of policy direction.
