Iranian state media reported that Iran struck a U.S. warship in the Gulf of Oman that was approaching Iranian territorial waters and had a "command and control center."U.S. Central Command: Iran used drones to attack a civilian airport in a deliberate, calculated, and unjustified attack.U.S. Central Command: Iran claimed today that it did not attack the passenger terminal at Kuwait International Airport and that the damage was caused by U.S. missile interceptors. This claim is completely false.On June 4th, a spokesperson for the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stated on June 3rd that its forces did not fire on the Kuwait airport target. The spokesperson claimed that the damage to the Kuwait airport terminal was caused by a malfunction of the US Patriot air defense missile system, whose missiles, after failing to intercept Iranian missiles, mistakenly landed on the terminal.June 4th - The Federal Reserves Beige Book indicated that overall, prices rose at a moderate to robust pace, with most districts reporting higher inflation rates than the previous report. Districts noted that energy costs related to the Middle East conflict were the primary driver of inflationary pressures, impacting sectors such as shipping, packaging, groceries, and fertilizers. Non-labor costs continued to rise faster than selling prices, raising broader concerns about squeezed profit margins. The ability to pass on higher costs varied across industries, particularly among consumer-facing companies. Some districts noted that businesses in multiple regions adopted strategies to cope with inflation, including supply chain optimization, product adjustments, reduced supply, and temporarily absorbing higher costs to maintain customer demand.

The USD/JPY recovers the majority of its losses as risk appetite rebounds; BOJ policy talk rises

The USD/JPY pair has recovered nearly all of its morning losses and is trading near 149.00 in the Tokyo session. Previously, the asset fell to approximately 145.48 as the US dollar index (DXY) became highly volatile. The DXY was dramatically fluctuating between 111.46 and 112.26.

 

S&P500 futures have increased even further since Friday, indicating that market sentiment is unusually positive. The 10-Year US Treasury rate is now 4.21 percent, a reduction from its prior level of 4.25 percent. Last Thursday, the yields on 10-year US Treasury securities reached a 14-year high of roughly 4.34 percent.

 

The second straight knee-jerk reaction in the USD/JPY pair, as reported by Reuters, is symptomatic of a potential intervention by the Bank of Japan (BOJ) in the FX market.

 

According to analysts at the National Australia Bank (NAB) in Sydney, "the BOJ's interference is painfully obvious."

 

Masato, Japan's chief currency diplomat, announced in early Asia that the administration is prepared to defend the yen against speculative currency market movements 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Officials from Japan refused to comment on their intervention in foreign exchange markets, but they promised to take action against disruptive market movements.

 

The Bank of Japan's (BOJ) interest rate announcement on Wednesday will be of fundamental importance moving forward. Weak economic fundamentals coming from external demand shocks will oblige the BOJ to retain its dovish stance on interest rates. Governor of the Bank of Japan Haruhiko Kuroda erred last week when he claimed that Japan's economy is vulnerable to foreign demand shocks, which might cause it to revert to deflation. This proves that policy tightening has never been considered.
