Tokyo CPI rates in view

Japan’s Tokyo CPI rates are set to be released during tomorrow’s Asian session. In particular, the Core CPI rate for June is set to come in at 3.3% which would be lower than the prior reading of 3.6%. Therefore in such a scenario where the CPI rates showcase easing inflationary pressures in the Japanese economy, it may increase pressure on the Bank of Japan to refrain from aggressively hiking interest rates in the near future as their current monetary policy path may be bearing some fruit. In turn this could weigh on the JPY. However, should the inflation print come in higher than expected or even showcase an acceleration of inflationary pressures in the Japanese economy, it may have the opposite effect. Such as potentially increasing pressure on the bank to resume on their rate hiking cycle, which in turn may aid the JPY. Nevertheless, even inflation at 3.3% is still above the bank’s inflation target. The US Durable goods orders rate for May is set to come in at 8.5% which would be significantly higher than the prior months rate of -6.3% and thus should the rate come in as expected or higher it may aid the dollar. Whereas should the financial release disappoint market participants by coming in lower than expected it may weigh on the dollar. In the US according to various media outlets, President Trump is considering candidates for the position of the Fed Chair. According to Reuters the leading contenders are reportedly “Former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh, National Economic Council head Kevin Hassett, current Fed Governor Christopher Waller, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.” Regardless, it is our view that the new Fed Chair may be picked based on their dovish views, which may align with President Trump’s ambitions.

We opt for a sideways bias and supporting our case is the RSI indicator below our chart which currently registers a figure near 50 which tends to imply a neutral market sentiment. However, the MACD indicator below our chart which tends to imply bearish market tendencies. For our sideways bias to be maintained we would require gold’s price to remain confined between the 3240 (S1) support level and the 3385 (R1) resistance line.

Lastly, for a bullish outlook we would require a clear break above the 3385 (R1) resistance line with the next possible target for the bulls being the 3500 (R2) resistance level.
