The dollar continued to face downside pressure following the release of the FOMC meeting minutes. Concerns were raised by FOMC members over potential labour market deterioration, with the majority of the members signalling that a September rate cut might be appropriate. This dovish narrative provided buoyancy to the equity market, as all major U.S. indexes gained in the last session.
Following fresh 2024 lows near 0.6350, AUD/USD bounced back above 0.6500 on Tuesday, returning to positive weekly territory. The pair remains focused on the 200-day SMA at 0.6592, with a negative bias expected below this level. The recovery was supported by rising copper and iron ore prices and a hawkish hold from the RBA.
The USD/JPY pair has rebounded to around 145.40 after dropping to its lowest level since January at 141.68, amid early Asian trading. The US Dollar's decline was driven by recession fears and expectations of significant Federal Reserve rate cuts. The rise in the US Unemployment Rate in July has heightened concerns about a recession, leading markets to anticipate rate cuts of 50 basis points in September and November, and an additional 25 basis points in December.
The USD/JPY pair hovers around 152.50, just above a three-month low, as traders anticipate the Bank of Japan's policy decision, expecting a 10-basis-point rate hike and bond-buying tapering, which supports the Yen. A slight recovery in the US Dollar has paused the pair's rise, with the Dollar Index near 104.50 ahead of the Federal Reserve's meeting, where rates are expected to stay unchanged but with dovish guidance.
