The pair dropped to 147.83, down from the previous day\u2019s close of 148.14. During the trading session, USD\/JPY reached a high of 148.51 and a low of 147.57.<br \/><br \/>The broader U.S. dollar index fell approximately 0.3%, reflecting growing market expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut after the release of the latest consumer price data. Markets now assign a 96% probability to a rate cut at the Federal Open Market Committee\u2019s September meeting, up from 88% based on prior forecasts, as the inflation report met expectations without surprises.<br \/><br \/>The U.S. dollar index, which measures the dollar\u2019s performance against a basket of major currencies, slipped to 97.97 points from the previous close of 98.52 points. During Tuesday\u2019s trading, it hit a high of 98.62 points and a low of 97.97 points.<br \/><br \/>The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) for July rose by 0.2%, aligning with market expectations. However, the annual CPI reading remained steady at 2.7% from June, slightly below market forecasts of a 0.1% increase to 2.8%. Meanwhile, the core CPI, excluding volatile food and energy prices, increased by 0.3% in July, matching expectations. On an annual basis, core CPI climbed to 3.1% from 2.9% in June, surpassing market predictions of a 3.0% rise.<br \/><br \/>The combination of stable but slightly underwhelming inflation data and heightened expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut has put downward pressure on the dollar, contributing to the USD\/JPY pair\u2019s retreat. As markets await further economic indicators and the Fed\u2019s next moves, the currency pair remains sensitive to shifts in monetary policy expectations.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The USD\/JPY currency pair declined on Tuesday, driven by a weakening U.S. dollar following a notable slowdown in U.S. consumer price inflation for July.
