[The Federal Reserve may compromise on the banks capital increase plan] According to the Wall Street Journal, the Federal Reserve requires banks to hold more capital. However, JPMorgan Chase CEO Dimon and other major bank CEOs have taken a tough stance on the proposal, and now it seems that their strategy may have worked. According to people familiar with the matter, the Federal Reserve and two other federal regulators are developing a new plan that will significantly relax the capital increase requirements of large US banks by nearly 20%. The capital increase requirements are intended to ensure that large banks have enough buffers to absorb potential losses, and the new plan may be only half of the original plan. This is a major victory for banks. The banks said that the originally proposed rules would lead to a decline in profits and restrict lending. This also represents a shift in the balance of power between large US banks and regulators, ending the era when the Federal Reserve had the upper hand.[The Israeli army continues to launch military operations against Rafah, and a large number of Gazans are forced to stay in Mawasi] Recently, the Israeli army has continued to launch military operations against the southern city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip, and a large number of Gazans have been forced to embark on the road of escape again, heading to the so-called "humanitarian zone" in the southwest of the Gaza Strip - Mawasi.

Inflation rates in the United States exceeded all forecasts. Rabobank economists anticipate that the USD/JPY pair will rise to 135 in the near future before falling to the area of 132-30 later in 2022.

USD/JPY is largely dependent on the forecast for US rates

The strength of the US inflation report for May raises the prospect for further USD/JPY rises over the next one to three months to 135. This presupposes that the Bank of Japan will retain its present loose monetary policy at its June meeting, which looks quite probable."

 

"We continue to be skeptical about the prospect of genuine FX intervention, since this would directly contradict the BoJ's monetary policy." It would also violate the commitment Japan has maintained for years as a member of the G7 to let the market determine currency rates."

 

We anticipate that lower US rates will let USD/JPY to return to the range between 132 and 130 later in the year.
