Behind the continued weakening of the yen: verbal intervention is effective in the short term, but long-term action is needed to deliver results.

Commerzbank has warned that the Bank of Japan faces credibility risks amid a weakening yen and market skepticism about its tightening commitments. The latest rate hike has failed to satisfy domestic officials or international partners, and threats of intervention alone are seen as insufficient. Policy delays could simultaneously harm both yen stability and economic growth, and the window for such delays is narrowing.

The risk of yen intervention is rising, and the euro/yen exchange rate is hovering at low levels, awaiting a stress test.

The lack of clearer hawkish guidance following the Bank of Japan's rate hike put pressure on the yen, with the euro/yen pair remaining around 180.25. However, the rising risk of Japanese intervention in the exchange rate, coupled with continued uncertainty surrounding the ECB's policy path, limited the upside potential for the exchange rate.

Oil price declines coupled with a widening US-Canada interest rate differential have caused the USD/CAD pair to fluctuate around 1.4000, awaiting a directional move.

Falling oil prices weakened the Canadian dollar's support as a commodity currency, while the widening policy spread between the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Canada pushed USD/CAD back towards 1.4000. If the exchange rate holds support around 1.3930, there is still room for further upward movement in the short term.

The Fed's hawkish signals continue to resonate, pushing the dollar index back above 100. Further attention should be paid to expectations of interest rate hikes.

The Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points in September and signaled further tightening of policy, keeping the dollar index above the 100 mark. With market expectations for another rate hike in October rising, the dollar is still supported by its yield advantage in the short term, but daily technical indicators have entered a bullish zone. Going forward, attention should be paid to the 100 level and the support around 99.70.

The Bank of Japan's rate hike failed to boost the yen, and the USD/JPY pair fluctuated at high levels after approaching the 157 mark.

The Bank of Japan raised its policy rate to 1.25%, but the 7-2 vote weakened market expectations for further rate hikes. Meanwhile, hawkish signals from the Federal Reserve, geopolitical risks, and US Treasury yields collectively supported the US dollar, keeping USD/JPY around 156.8, with 157.5 becoming a key short-term resistance level.

The US dollar is facing resistance at a seven-week high! The yen is depreciating sharply, and Japanese authorities have already conducted currency inquiries. Is something big going to happen next week?

Overall, the main theme of global markets this week was the resumption of the interest rate hike cycle. The US dollar remained strong amid hawkish signals from the Federal Reserve and rising global interest rates, while the yen weakened significantly due to the Bank of Japan's smaller-than-expected rate hikes. Non-US currencies such as the euro and the pound sterling were under pressure. The policy paths of the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan, energy price trends, and potential foreign exchange intervention risks will be key variables influencing market direction.

Copper saw a sharp drop of 16,000 long positions in one go, with precious metals collectively unleveraging. Is the withdrawal of funds genuine or just a feigned fear?

This week, the biggest move by speculative funds was to close out positions. Precious metals saw reduced holdings, crude oil prices retreated, and soft commodities saw capital outflows – all adopting a defensive posture. The most intriguing aspect is the internal division within US Treasury bonds, with short- and medium-term bonds rushing to cover short positions while long-term bonds are still adding to them. Among agricultural products, soybeans stood out as strong, while wheat was besieged by short sellers. Overall, the market oscillated between interest rates, safe-haven assets, and commodities, with a wait-and-see attitude outweighing any desire to attack.

Reports indicate that the Bank of Japan conducted a "currency inquiry," but this move was "too late and had little effect."

Following the Bank of Japan's recent interest rate hike, the yen plummeted, much to the displeasure of the Bank of Japan and Scott "House" Bessant. They then once again staged their now almost weekly intervention in the foreign exchange market.

Why is the yen still so weak despite interest rates reaching a 31-year high?

Japanese interest rates hit new highs, and despite intervention from the US and Japan, the yen continues to depreciate, suggesting it is in dire straits.

Diverging monetary policies have boosted the dollar, pushing the USD/JPY exchange rate close to intervention thresholds.

The foreign exchange market does not tolerate indecisive trading mentality; wavering stances often bring real risks of loss to investors.

Oil prices dominate the market, and the dollar's upward trend continues.

The dollar's rally continued, with the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance restraining the currency market; oil prices remained high; unexpected news risks influenced market risk appetite; the Bank of Japan's hawkish rate hike failed to satisfy yen investors, leading to a rise in the dollar against the yen; and the stock market rebounded, boosted by falling oil prices and declining sovereign bond yields.
