The US dollars surrender to the Euro continues, GBP/USD touching 3-month highs, BoJ may continue its loose monetary policy

Summary:
The market is reflecting mixed signals for this currency pair. The Euro to Dollar exchange rate (EUR/USD) hit a high of 1.0477 on Tuesday as a result of the continued dollar surrender that was brought on by the publication of weaker-than-anticipated U.S. inflation data last Thursday. The advances have already brought the pair close to the 1.05 level, which was predicted to be a potential objective in the near future by our week ahead projection. Investors' assumption that the Federal Reserve will slow down its interest rate hike cycle as U.S. inflation shows symptoms of peaking has sent the EUR/USD up 3.7% last week and another 1.10% this week.
The sudden increase in the Euro's value relative to the Dollar is most likely due to a sizable liquidation of "long" dollar positions taken by investors hoping to profit from the Dollar's multi-month advance.

The market is reflecting bullish signals for this currency pair. The Pound has risen to a new three-month high versus the Dollar as another inflation report fueled the U.S. currency's significant devaluation that was initially started by last week's U.S. inflation data. At 13:30 GMT, the Dollar's drop increased with the announcement of the U.S. The PPI inflation data was less than anticipated, confirming the CPI inflation from last week that the trend of rising prices has peaked. The strong market response to last week's U.S. inflation reading, which saw CPI come in below market expectations and indicated a turning point for both inflation and the Federal Reserve rate hike cycle might have been reached, is extended by the GBP/three-month USD's high.

The market is reflecting mixed signals for this currency pair. The Japanese Yen initially ignored the dismal GDP numbers because the USD/JPY was comfortably over 140.00. After 30 minutes, it surged past 140.50. The Japanese seasonally adjusted 3Q quarter-to-quarter GDP was down 0.3% from the previous quarter's 0.9%, falling short of predictions of 0.3%. In contrast to expectations of 1.2% and 3.5%, seasonally adjusted annualized quarter-to-quarter GDP as of the end of September was -1.2%.
Prior to the release of today's data, the USD/JPY had been lagging in the wake of last Thursday's release of the US CPI, which the market had deemed to be rather benign. This sparked suspicion that the Federal Reserve would not need to raise rates as aggressively as previously believed. The graphic below illustrates the connection between Treasury yields, Japan-US bond spreads, and USD/JPY. With the Bank of Japan's yield curve control program, changes in Treasury yield mostly dictate the bond spread. The figures from today may indicate that the central bank will keep its monetary policy loose.
