USD/JPY Technical: Yen eyeing a medium-term bullish breakout against USD from a 5-month range
USD/JPY remains under pressure, holding near key support at 145.95 after slipping to 146.20 in Asia trade. While the US dollar has broadly weakened in recent weeks, its bearish momentum versus the yen has lagged. With the FOMC decision, dot plot, and Powell’s remarks in focus, momentum signals point to potential further downside. A break below 145.95 may trigger a medium-term bearish move toward 145.20.

The Dow Jones (DJIA) staged a bullish breakout above 45,780, hitting a new all-time high of 46,140 before pulling back -1.1% to 45,645 ahead of the Fed’s policy decision and dot plot release.

Hang Seng Index Technical: Bullish consolidation above 26,200 on China housing recovery

Dow Jones (DJIA) Technical: Poised for a potential bullish breakout as US CPI looms
Since Fed Chair Powell’s dovish pivot at Jackson Hole on 22 Aug, the Dow Jones has lagged peers, slipping 0.3% while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 hit fresh record highs and the Russell 2000 gained 0.7%. Markets now fully price a 25 bps Fed rate cut on 17 Sep, with high odds of two more cuts by year-end. The Dow’s technical setup shows bullish consolidation, with key support at 45,290/45,175 and resistance at 45,780 (upside trigger level) for 46,060/46,180 and 46,365/46,400.

The ECB is unlikely to change rates in the near future
ECB likely to hold rates at a 2% deposit; markets price no move. Inflation is nearer target and expectations ticked up to 2.5%, so the path may be revised slightly higher on energy. Activity is improving—composite PMI 51.0 and manufacturing above 50—signaling modest recovery. Q3 GDP may be nudged up; core inflation still converging to 2%. Baseline: keep policy on hold this year while monitoring data.
