USD/JPY uninspired by US data or comments from Fed’s Bullard
FXStreet (Córdoba) - USD/JPY entered a consolidation phase over the last hours after a brief appearance above the 121.00 level, shrugging off dovish comments from Fed’s Bullard and the latest series of US data.
US personal spending rose 0.3% in July, slightly below the 0.4% expected while personal income grew 0.4% in the same period, matching forecasts. The PCE price index, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation measure, grew 0.1% MoM and 0.3%YoY. Core prices, which exclude food and energy, climbed 0.1% and 1.2% respectively.
Meanwhile, Fed’s Bullard stated that the FOMC does not like to move (rates) when there is volatility in the markets.
However, the dollar was little changed and continued to trade within its recent range. At time of writing, the pair was trading at 120.70, recording a 0.25% loss on the day.
