Markets are pricing almost no chance of a U.S. rate cut this week but have fully priced a 25 basis-point reduction in the Fed Funds rate for September and so expect policymakers to sound dovish. The dollar and yen were kept in fairly compact ranges and took a breather after recent breakout moves. "It is too early to tell if the factors driving yen weakness have changed permanently. For now, this seems more like a short-term correction to the USD/JPY higher trend, but we feel there is downside risk that needs to be priced into a trade."
