- The dollar was up on Friday morning in Asia, clawed back from a one-week low after sliding for two days with the U.S. Federal Reserve’s interest rate hike decision. The Bank of Japan (BOJ) announced earlier in the day to keep policy ultra-loose despite rising inflation while global central banks are taking tight monetary policies, the yen retreated sharply. “Now that that event risk is past, and the BOJ has stood pat, it's entirely logical that we went back from whence we came,” adding that he remained unconvinced the dollar has peaked. Global central banks are proactive in tightening monetary policies to tame soaring inflation. The U.S. Federal Reserve announced on Wednesday its biggest interest rate hike since 1994. The Swiss National Bank also unexpectedly hiked rates by 50 basis points on Thursday, while the Bank of England raised its interest rates to 1.25% on the same day. On the data front, U.S. initial jobless claims fell to 229,000 for the week ended June 11, slightly below the number of 232,000 recorded from the previous week.
- The Bank of Japan held firm with its rock-bottom interest rates Friday, resisting an intensifying global wave of central bank tightening and recent market pressure on the yen and government bonds. The central bank kept its policy settings for yield curve control and asset purchases, according to a statement Friday, in line with the forecasts of almost all surveyed economists. In a rare move, the bank added a reference to foreign exchange rates to its list of risks after the yen rapidly weakened to its lowest level in 24 years earlier this week. Governor Haruhiko Kuroda is pushing back against mounting pressure to normalize policy as central banks race to raise interest rates and market bets mount against the BOJ’s ceiling on yields. With the policy gap with the Federal Reserve widening, the governor’s strong easing stance has led to a rapid fall in the yen, fueling concerns among businesses and households ahead of a key national election for Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. The yen whiplashed against the dollar immediately after the decision first weakening, then sharply strengthening, before weakening again. It remained off Wednesday’s 24-year low. After a battering earlier in the week, the currency has enjoyed some support after the Fed’s decision led to concerns over a possible US recession. By increasingly standing out as an outlier among global peers, Kuroda risks further criticism over the yen. The governor has insisted on keep easing in place given the economy’s relatively slow recovery from the pandemic, warning that any premature tightening would weigh on the economy. The Fed raised interest rates by 75 basis points Wednesday, and more hikes are expected to come in the months ahead. The European Central Bank is en route to ditching negative rates by the end of September as it pledged to curb market stress at an emergency meeting this week. The Swiss National Bank surprised Thursday with the first rate increase in 15 years, while the Bank of England also pushed up rates again.
- Gold was down on Friday morning in Asia, as the U.S. dollar and U.S. Treasury yields clawed back after a decline during the previous session. The Bank of Japan (BOJ) on Friday decided to keep policy ultraloose despite rising inflation while global central banks are taking tight monetary policies. The U.S. Federal Reserve delivered on Wednesday its biggest interest rate hike since 1994. The Swiss National Bank also unexpectedly hiked rates by 50 basis points on Thursday, while the Bank of England raised its interest rates to 1.25% on the same day.
- Oil prices edged lower on Friday as demand concerns emerged following this week's rate hikes, although persisting supply tightness and new sanctions on Iran limited the downside. If losses hold through the day, Brent futures would post their first weekly dip in five weeks, while U.S. crude futures would see their first decline in eight weeks Central banks across Europe raised interest rates on Thursday, some by amounts that shocked markets, and hinted at even higher borrowing costs to come to tame soaring inflation that is eroding savings and squeezing corporate profits. In South America, Argentina's central bank raised its benchmark rate by the most in three years on Thursday, as it fights inflation running at over 60%. Those moves came on the heels of Wednesday's 75 basis point rate hike by the U.S. Federal Reserve, the highest since 1994. However, investors remained focused on tight supplies after the United States announced new sanctions on Iran. Washington on Thursday imposed sanctions on Chinese and Emirates companies and a network of Iranian firms that help export Iran's petrochemicals, a step that may aim to raise pressure on Tehran to revive the 2015 nuclear deal.
