The yen remains stable against the dollar as cooling US inflation reduces immediate volatility in the currency pair.
USD/JPY traded sideways in the mid-159.00 range on Thursday, reflecting a period of consolidation as market forces balance out. The pair has shown limited movement amid cooling US inflation data, which has tempered expectations for aggressive Federal Reserve policy shifts.
Recent sessions have seen the yen confined to a narrow range, with traders weighing US economic indicators against broader risk sentiment. The lack of fresh catalysts has kept the pair within its established band, despite underlying tensions in global markets.
No significant market reaction was observed, as the pair continued to hover near its recent levels without breaking key support or resistance zones.
