September 14th - The AI field has experienced explosive growth over the past year, a pace that seems to have overwhelmed leading AI developers in the short term. Now, these companies are calling for a slowdown in research and increased regulation and oversight. However, the AI security crises that have recently surfaced are unlikely to impact the clients of AI giants like Anthropic and OpenAI in the same way. Enterprises typically deploy commercially available models whose capabilities are well-understood by the market. These models may not be at the absolute cutting edge of AI, but their capabilities are powerful enough to handle the various tasks assigned to them by enterprises. Stephen Messer, co-founder of Collective, stated that most enterprises are not using the most advanced models. They may even be using versions from two years ago, which are perfectly adequate for their current work. Some users dont even know how to effectively provide prompts to their models. Therefore, a slowdown in AI development will not have a significant impact on them.September 14th - According to AXIOS, multiple sources revealed that Anthropic may still go public in 2026 despite growing concerns about AI safety. Previously, there was speculation on social media that Anthropic might want to postpone its IPO due to liability and regulatory issues surrounding new products. However, the maker of Claude may believe that the events of the past 48 hours have actually enhanced, rather than diminished, its IPO appeal—they believe that the transparency of being a publicly traded company will improve safety. According to Business Insider, Anthropic has already decided to list on Nasdaq.The market has now fully priced in four 25-basis-point rate hikes by the European Central Bank by the end of 2027.According to Axios, multiple sources have revealed that even though artificial intelligence security issues have become a hot topic, Anthropic may still go public in 2026, and the IPO schedule has not changed.Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney: Canada and the EU have tremendous opportunities to create prosperity together.

The USD/JPY Currency Pair Swings in a 60-Pip Range as Bulls Reclaim 124.00 on a Positive Note

Tips

  • The USD/JPY is up 1.26 percent this week.

  • The greenback strengthens as investors shrug off geopolitical concerns.

  • Forecast for the USD/JPY Exchange Rate: As bulls, we are leaning upward and are aiming for the YTD high of 125.10.

 

As the Asian Pacific session opens, USD/JPY pair extends its weekly gains on broad US dollar strength. The USD/JPY remains strong at 124.15, after trading in a tight 55-pip range over the last three days as the Eastern Europe conflict between Russia and Ukraine enters its sixth day.

 

Asian market futures continue to trade higher, despite the ongoing Russia-Ukraine confrontation. Contrary to the positive tone of Asian market futures, which point to a stronger open, US equities concluded the afternoon in a divided mood. Investors shrugged aside Russia-Ukraine tensions on Thursday, despite Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's complaint that Ukraine's new draft accord submitted to Russia does not meet Russia's demands on Crimea and Donbas. Meanwhile, recent reports indicate that Russia is regrouping soldiers in preparation for another offensive aimed at reclaiming Ukraine's eastern territories, Donetsk and Luhansk.

 

The North American session on Thursday featured Fed speakers, lead by St. Louis Fed President James Bullard, who stated that the Fed is still behind the curve in its efforts to contain inflation. Bullard said that by the second half of the year, he would like to see the Federal Funds Rate (FFR) at 3.5 percent.

 

Later that day, Chicago Fed President Charles Evans indicated that "we (the Fed) will reach neutral by the end of this year or early next."

 

On the Japanese docket, the Current Account for February and Consumer Confidence for March would be the headline economic data releases. On the US front, Wholesale Inventories for February will be released on a monthly basis. 

USD/JPY Forecast: Technical Analysis

The USD/JPY continues bullish, but the average daily range (ADR) has been 55 pips during the last three days. Daily moving averages (DMAs) below the spot price further reinforce the uptrend, and it's worth noting that the 100-DMA at 109.48 is on the verge of crossing over the 200-DMA at 109.60.

 

With that considered, the first resistance level for the USD/JPY would be 124.00. If the latter is breached, the March 29 daily high of 124.30 will be revealed, followed by the year-to-date high of 125.10.
