Forex outlook: U.S. September ISM manufacturing index and other data in focus
The dollar-yen exchange rate is expected to be influenced by the U.S. Sep ISM Manufacturing Index and other data releases tonight through tomorrow. The projected range is 157.70 to 158.80 yen.
The Sep Bank of Japan (BOJ) Tankan survey and the summary of opinions from the Sep BOJ monetary policy meeting, released earlier on Oct 1, reinforced views that results did not support additional rate hikes, prompting dollar gains and yen weakness, pushing the rate into the low 158 yen range. Tonight, the U.S. ISM Manufacturing Index and other data are scheduled for release, with market movements likely driven by the outcomes. Additionally, Minneapolis Fed President Kashkari, Federal Reserve Vice Chair Jefferson, and New York Fed President Williams are scheduled to make public remarks.
