周五,日元升值至144日元兑1美元,弥补了前一交易日的损失,因为强于预期的经济数据强化了人们对日本央行采取更强硬立场的预期。5月份家庭支出同比增长4.7%,从4月份0.1%的下降大幅反弹,超过了1.2%的增长预期。这一增长反映了东京加大了刺激国内消费的力度。日元也受到美元走软的支撑,由于对关税政策的担忧再次打压市场情绪,美元走软。唐纳德·特朗普总统宣布计划开始就贸易问题发出信函,可能设定单边关税税率。特朗普此前曾威胁要对日本商品征收高达35%的关税,理由是对日本有限购买美国大米和汽车的不满。
The Japanese yen appreciated toward 144 per dollar on Friday, recouping losses from the previous session as stronger-than-expected economic data reinforced expectations of a more hawkish stance from the Bank of Japan. Household spending jumped 4.7% year-over-year in May, sharply rebounding from a 0.1% decline in April and beating forecasts for a 1.2% gain. The increase reflects Tokyo’s intensified efforts to stimulate domestic consumption. The yen also drew support from a softer US dollar, which weakened as renewed concerns over tariff policy weighed on sentiment. President Donald Trump announced plans to begin issuing letters on trade matters, potentially setting unilateral tariff rates. Trump has previously threatened to impose tariffs of up to 35% on Japanese goods, citing dissatisfaction with Japan’s limited purchases of American rice and automobiles.
