05%JPY leads, USD lagsThursday was all about Waller as the influential Fed Governor indicated that he wasn't ready to hike rates yet and would need to see CPI data before making a decision. The market is taking that as a signal of where the core of the FOMC stands and it's dropped the odds of a Sept hike to 50/50.Waller downplayed the employment report but said a surprise could influence his view.
Mostly, he's focused on what upcoming inflation data looks like and that ensures that this month's CPI data will be a major market event.The other surprise was a jump in the yen, with intervention obviously eyed. It was a steady slide lower in USD/JPY from early in the day and took it from 159.
00 to as low as 155.30, where some buyers have bid it up 50 pips. This is an interesting one to keep an eye on as we haven't gotten the usual intervention confirmation and it wasn't exactly in a straight line.
