The USD/JPY pair fell following the release of Tokyo CPI data
The Japanese Yen strengthened against the U.S. Dollar on Friday. The USD/JPY pair declined after recent gains as the Yen gained strength following the release of Tokyo’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data. This data is expected to support the Bank of Japan in raising interest rates in January.
The Tokyo CPI inflation rate rose to 3.0% year-on-year (YoY) in December, up from 2.6% in November. Meanwhile, the Tokyo CPI excluding fresh food and energy increased by 2.4% YoY in December, compared to 2.2% the previous month. The Tokyo CPI excluding fresh food also rose by 2.4% YoY in December, slightly below the expected 2.5%, but higher than the 2.2% recorded in November.
From a technical chart perspective, the USD/JPY pair tested the resistance level of 158.05 but failed to sustain that price and dropped to the support level of 157.58. If there are no significant movements ahead, this pair could continue to decline toward the previous support levels of 157.33 and 156.96.
