In-line US inflation figures reduce volatility, prompting the Japanese Yen to retreat from intraday lows against the Dollar.
The Japanese Yen trimmed earlier gains against the US Dollar on Wednesday after US consumer price index data matched forecasts, limiting market volatility. USD/JPY climbed back to around 159.20 after hitting an intraday low earlier in the session.
Markets had anticipated a muted reaction to the CPI print, which aligned with consensus estimates. The pair had shown initial strength before paring losses as traders digested the data without a clear directional signal.
No significant market reaction was reported following the release, with price action remaining subdued.
