U.S. economic data and FX policy signals drew attention from macro analysts and official accounts on X yesterday.
Ernie Tedeschi highlighted Q2 GDP growth of 1.5% annualized alongside robust 3.9% growth in core private domestic final purchases. He also noted ongoing shifts in core services inflation and how bond pricing reflects policy expectations rather than pure market signals.
Nomura FX posted roundups covering Japanese government intervention comments, Bank of Japan outlook, Tokyo CPI, and Eurozone CPI prints. Multiple posts from the account stressed U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent’s view that the yen remains “very undervalued” and far from equilibrium, with excessive volatility seen as unhealthy.
The Federal Reserve account shared its weekly balance sheet update and an interactive guide on monetary operations.
Overall, the conversation pointed to continued focus on U.S. inflation trajectory, potential policy responses, and cross-border FX dynamics involving the yen. ECB and Bank of Israel accounts had limited direct commentary in the sampled window, though global inflation and FX themes overlapped with their mandates.
Key Takeaways
- U.S. growth data showed resilience in private demand despite headline GDP moderation.
- FX intervention rhetoric from U.S. officials added volatility expectations around USD/JPY.
- Inflation metrics remain central to rate path discussions ahead of upcoming meetings.
