On June 13, the Fed held its June policy meeting, deciding to keep the benchmark interest rate at 5.00% - 5.25%, while signaling that it would need to raise interest rates further this year.

Separately, a separate report from the US Department of Labor on June 15 showed initial claims for unemployment benefits were unchanged at 262,000, but exceeded economists ' forecasts of 249,000 claims for unemployment benefits last week.

Meanwhile, the euro hit a 15-year high against the yen and a five-week high against the dollar on Tuesday after the European Central Bank (ECB) raised interest rates for the eighth straight time and signaled the need for further tightening to bring eurozone inflation back to its 2% target. The ECB raised interest rates by 25 basis points (bps) as expected, taking them to 3.5% - a 22-year high.

Deutsche Bank said there were "hawkish" elements in the ECB's latest press conference, especially the upward revision of the 2025 inflation forecast.

Accordingly, the Euro increased by 1.1% in the last trading session, reaching 1.0948 USD after reaching a 5-week high against the USD at 1.0952 USD. Compared to the Japanese yen, the Euro increased by 1.2%, reaching 153.68 yen - the highest level since September 2008, after the ECB's decision.

The ECB's move comes a day after the US Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged. The Fed's policy decision snapped a 10-year streak of rate hikes, but forecasts point to two more hikes by the end of 2023.

The Bank of Japan will next hold a policy meeting today, June 16, where it is expected to maintain an extremely dovish stance.
