On September 22, Federal Reserve Chairman Mohamed Mussaleem stated on Monday that the Fed may need to further raise interest rates to curb inflation due to strong demand and the impact of commodity prices extending beyond the oil sector. He emphasized that the Fed should act sooner rather than later. Mussaleem stated, “Persistent demand and recurring supply pressures continue to exacerbate inflation risks. I believe that without further policy measures to curb inflation, it is likely that in 18 months, inflation will be significantly higher than our 2% target, rather than reaching it. I believe policy must impose meaningful constraints on inflation. This would allow the Fed to achieve its inflation target in about a year and a half, thus allowing time for tightening to have an impact on the economy.” He added, “Earlier, gradual tightening is more appropriate and less shocking to the economy than later, larger, and potentially more abrupt policy moves.” Mussaleem pointed out that inflation “is not a risk; it already exists,” and even after excluding the effects of oil and other supply-related factors, the underlying inflation rate could still be several percentage points higher than the Fed’s target and is “heading in the wrong direction.”Federal Reserves Mussalim: Business contacts indicated they plan to raise prices to "close to 3%".Federal Reserve Chairman Mossallem: Rate hikes are best done "earlier and gradually," rather than "delayed and drastic."Federal Reserves Mussalim: The labor market remains stable near full employment and is not a source of inflationary pressures.Federal Reserves Mussalim: Interest rates may need to rise further to curb demand- and supply-driven inflation.

Price Analysis: EUR/JPY Daily Rising Wedge Targeting 143.00

The EUR/JPY continues to consolidate within an ascending wedge, after ending Tuesday with tiny losses of 0.04% due to a risk-on sentiment. At the start of the Asian trading session, the EUR/JPY exchange rate is 145.48, representing a slight gain of 0.01%.

 

As noted previously, a rising wedge emerged on the EUR/JPY daily chart, with the bulk of daily lows acting as dynamic support after the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). In spite of the fact that the cross continues to move steadily, there has been less price action during the past four days. This would suggest that the EUR/JPY exchange rate is stable or that a breakout is near.

 

If the EUR/JPY reaches 146.00, it could accelerate a rally toward the year-to-date (YTD) highs near 148.40; however, buyers must first overcome crucial resistance levels. The first is the rising wedge top trendline close to 146.50, followed by the 9 November daily high at 147.11. After the psychological 148.00 is reached, the next objective will be 149.00.

 

If the EUR/JPY breaks below the rising wedge, the 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) around 144.12 would provide first support. A breach of this level will expose the 143.00 level, followed by the November 11 swing low of 142.54.
