USD, EUR, JPY flows: USD gains after PPI
Senior FX Strategist

PPI only marginally stronger than expected but the USD remains firm. However, furtehr gains may be more difficult, particularly against the JPY
No real surprise in US PPI. Although the y/y rates for both headline and core were slightly above consensus, the m/m rates were in line. There is insufficient difference to have a meaningful influence on policy. Nevertheless, US yields and the USD are both marginally firmer. We continue to focus on the 156.67 retracement level in USD/JPY as a potential sell area.
There may be more downside potential for EUR/USD, with yields spreads still suggesting downside risk. However, the 1.0448 October 2023 low is the initial target and may offer short term support.
