SK Hynix fell by 10%.Rio Tinto (RIO.N) CEO: Considering how best to achieve profitability at the Kennecott copper smelter in the United States.New A-share IPO N Qianan saw its share price surge by 167%, triggering a temporary trading halt, with turnover exceeding 460 million yuan.July 29th - Lower-than-expected inflation in Australia in June eased pressure on the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to adjust policy in the near term, giving it more room to continue assessing the economic outlook. Following the data release, the Australian dollar and Australian bond yields fell. The RBA raised interest rates at its first three meetings this year in an attempt to curb inflationary pressures that had already emerged before the global energy shock triggered by the Iraq War. Wednesdays CPI figures suggest that despite persistently high prices, the RBA is unlikely to need to tighten monetary policy again on August 11th, when it will also release updated quarterly forecasts.July 29th - Lloyd Chan, senior foreign exchange analyst at MUFG Bank, stated in a research report that the US dollar is likely to receive support if the Federal Reserves FOMC maintains interest rates at their current level in a "tight" stance. Our baseline scenario is a tighter stance with rates unchanged, in which the Fed is likely to keep rates unchanged and emphasize that inflation risks remain high. This could support US Treasury yields and the dollar, thus exerting a broad drag on Asian forex markets. If the Fed continues to emphasize its policy stance of maintaining high interest rates for an extended period, the risk balance will still tilt towards the dollar remaining resilient.

USD/JPY Price Analysis: Double Top Formation Supports Bearish Reversal, 128.00 Targeted

After reaching a fresh multi-year high of 131.35 on Monday, the USD/JPY pair experienced a sharp decline. The difference between the new multiyear high and the previous high of 131.26, reached in the last week of April, is negligible. Therefore, the recent high may be categorized as an unsuccessful attempt to establish above the previous high.

 

The asset produced a Double Top pattern on a four-hour time frame, indicating a bearish reversal after the successful retesting of the prior highs. The key resistance is established by the high of April 28 at 131.26.

 

Notable is the flattening of the 20-period and 50-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) at 130.42 and 129.94 respectively, which indicates weariness in the uptrend.

 

Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (14) has switched from a bullish range of 60.00-80.00 to a consolidation range of 40.00-60.00, indicating a contraction in volatility.

 

The yen bulls could enjoy a brief ride if the asset falls below the 50-EMA at 129.94, which would take the currency towards Thursday's low at 128.76. A break of the latter will bring the asset to the round level support at 128.00.

 

In contrast, the dollar bulls could regain control if the asset surpasses the multi-year high at 131.35. This will take the pair toward the 15 April 2002 high of 132.38, followed by April's high of 132.82.
