Treasury yields are higher and that is underpinning USD/JPY as the pair pushes to fresh highs since 1998, breaching 142.00 currently - up over 1% on the day.</p><p style="" class="text-align-justify">Things are continuing to stay in place for the dollar as <a href="https://www.forexlive.com/news/things-are-all-lining-up-for-the-dollar-towards-the-end-of-the-week-20220819/" target="_blank">the factors that have driven the move since August</a> are still playing out. EUR/USD rose initially to 0.9985 only to fall back to flat levels now around 0.9925 as the euro is still sluggish amid the energy crisis in the region. GBP/USD is hopeful about new UK PM, Liz Truss' efforts to tackle soaring energy prices but I would argue that it is but a false dawn for the quid, with cable nudging up to 1.1600 before keeping around 1.1570 on the day - off two-year lows from yesterday.</p><p style="" class="text-align-justify">Meanwhile, China is slowly guiding the yuan to weaken towards 7.00 against the dollar - in which I would expect them to draw a hard line there after having cut the FX reserve ratio yesterday. USD/CNY touched 6.96 today, which is its highest level in two years.</p><p style="" class="text-align-justify">Elsewhere, the antipodeans are struggling with AUD/USD down 0.4% to 0.6765 after the RBA played it straight and hiked the cash rate by 50 bps to 2.35%, as expected. The central bank hinted at rates being at neutral territory but offered no additional hawkishness as they are very much just a passenger now to the Fed's tightening drive.</p>
