Today's USD exchange rate worldwide
The underlying strength of the US dollar pushed the Japanese yen back to the crucial 160 yen/USD level in Wednesday's trading session, prompting Japanese authorities to issue warnings and maintain a state of readiness to intervene in the market. Meanwhile, new tensions in the Gulf region continued to fuel demand for the greenback.
The U.S. reported that Iran launched ballistic missiles toward neighboring countries in the region, but none hit their targets. In response, U.S. forces conducted airstrikes on Iran's Qeshm Island.
The latest developments in the Middle East have increased demand for safe-haven assets, including the US dollar, thereby putting further pressure on the Japanese yen and many other major currencies in the foreign exchange market.
Diplomatic negotiations between Iran and the US remain deadlocked, keeping market sentiment cautious. The US dollar typically strengthens when conflict escalates, driven by demand for safe-haven assets and the US economy's reduced sensitivity to energy price shocks. Meanwhile, the Japanese yen is often under downward pressure when oil prices rise due to Japan's heavy reliance on imported energy.
In Wednesday's trading session, the yen fell to the crucial psychological level of 160 yen/USD, a level that Japanese authorities have repeatedly intervened to support the domestic currency. This development wiped out the gains the yen had achieved after Tokyo's 11.7 trillion yen (equivalent to $73 billion) intervention a month ago to prop up the weakening currency.
Marc Chandler, chief strategist at Bannockburn Global Forex, commented: “Everyone understands that the risk of Bank of Japan (BOJ) intervention has increased, but that doesn’t seem to be enough to deter speculators. The record-breaking intervention in late April and May brought the exchange rate down, but now we’re back to the old level. While Japan thinks they bought something from that intervention, they clearly didn’t buy much time either.”
At the close of trading, the US dollar rose 0.07% against the yen, to 160.015 yen/USD.
In other markets, the euro fell 0.27% to 1.15995 USD/EUR, while the British pound declined 0.34% to 1.3419 USD/pound.
The protracted conflict in the Middle East, coupled with persistently high energy prices, has led investors to increasingly bet on the likelihood that major central banks around the world will continue to tighten monetary policy this year. This represents a significant shift from the interest rate cuts that the market had priced in before the conflict erupted.
Investors are currently pricing in the possibility of the Federal Reserve (Fed) raising interest rates by a total of approximately 19 basis points between now and December. The market has also fully reflected the possibility of the Fed implementing a 0.25 percentage point rate hike in March of next year.
In the currency market, the Australian dollar (AUD) fell 0.69% to 0.713 USD/AUD, while the New Zealand dollar (NZD) dropped 1.02% to 0.5865 USD/NZD.
