"The US dollar extended gains on Thu to its highest in more than a year after a hawkish hold from the Fed triggered bets on rate hikes."
"USD/JPY rose sharply and closed at 161.37 (+0.46%). Markets are reportedly on watch for yen intervention after the Fed’s hawkish stance triggered a drop in the currency to levels that have previously prompted Japan’s finance ministry to step in."
"Risk sentiment improved modestly on Thu as markets continued to digest the Fed’s hawkish tilt alongside resilient US data. Firm labour and spending signals reinforced the higher-for-longer narrative, keeping front-end yields elevated and the US dollar supported."
