Japanese Yen Futures Market News and Commentary
The dollar index (DXY00) is down by -0.06% today. The dollar is under pressure today as hopes for a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz have boosted stocks and knocked crude oil prices sharply lower. The slide in crude oil prices lowers inflation expectations and could prompt the Fed to loosen monetary policy, a negative factor for the dollar. Today's weaker-than-expected US economic reports on June JOLTS job openings and June factory orders are also weighing on the dollar.
The US June trade deficit was -$73.3 billion, slightly larger than expectations of -$73.0 billion.
US June factory orders unexpectedly fell -0.3% m/m, weaker than expectations of +0.2% m/m. Also, June factory orders ex-transportation unexpectedly fell -0.4% m/m versus expectations of +0.4% m/m and the biggest decline in 14 months.
US June JOLTS job openings fell -178,000 to 7.359 million, showing a weaker labor market than expectations of 7.454 million.
