In our FOMC Meeting live coverage on YouTube yesterday, we sent out a short signal on USD/JPY around 25 minutes after the decision and right before the press conference. The short signal was at 110.20 with a pending order to short again at 110.40. Many traders said the same thing “the dollar is going up, look at the reaction since the Fed decision”. Yet, I decided to short USD/JPY not just because I want to, but after reading the Federal Reserve statement, which showed NO change and no new information about tapering. USD/JPY dropped from 110.20 all the way down to 109.67 and we moved the Stop Loss to entry a few minutes after USD/JPY dropped below 110.0. So far, we are +50 pips in profit, and with the Stop at breakeven, there is nothing to be worried about. The lesson that many learned in yesterday’s live coverage is the following “Do not react to the initial reaction, always read the Fed’s statement, wait for a pullback and then join the trade, reacting to the initial reaction won't make you a successful trader”. Enjoy your profits.

The upcoming August inflation data may send mixed signals. The 12-month headline inflation rate is expected to rise to 3.6%, causing concerns for the Biden administration. However, core inflation, which excludes food and energy prices, is projected to decrease to 4.3%, aligning with the Federal Reserve's goals. Past price trends influence both figures, so looking at recent data for a more accurate picture is crucial.
The odds of a final interest rate hike by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) this year have dropped after US job openings hit their lowest levels since early 2021. This has led to a correction in the US Dollar as traders reduced their bets on further rate hikes.

Gold prices are rising for three consecutive days ahead of the Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate decision, which is expected to remain unchanged due to declining inflation and a positive economic outlook. Investors are keen on the Fed's interest rate guidance, fearing a hawkish stance that could trigger market risk aversion.
Amid concerns of a Chinese economic slowdown, reports of declining investment often overlook China's efficient investment strategy in emerging sectors for long-term growth.
