Agency: US PPI and initial claims data failed to have a real impact on the US/Japan

ChainCatcher news, according to institutional analysis, the number of first-time unemployment claims in the United States last week was 230,000, slightly higher than expected, and the previous data was 228,000, but at these levels, the data still supports the view that the US labor market remains in good health. At the same time, the US PPI in August was in line with expectations, with an annual rate of 1.7% and a core PPI annual rate of 2.4%. The monthly PPI data was indeed slightly higher than expected, but the data for July were all revised down. Overall, there is not much new information at present, so it has not really affected the USD/JPY. (Jinshi)
