Major central banks tightening policies, boosts Japanese Yen.

The Japanese Yen has reached its highest level in a month, surpassing the 140 mark against the U.S. dollar. This surge is attributed to the growing concerns of a global economic downturn due to major central banks tightening their monetary policies to combat persistent inflation. The Japanese Yen, known for its safe-haven status, has benefited from this situation. On the other hand, the U.S. dollar remains under pressure. At the same time, investors anticipate the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) later today, with expectations that U.S. inflation will show signs of easing. Elsewhere, oil prices continue to climb as Russian oil production declines and the market faces tightening supply conditions.
