USD/JPY trades directionless as market participants weighed slowing CPI and PPI data against hawkish rhetoric from Federal Reserve policymakers.
Major focus will be on the release of the FOMC’s meeting minutes for clues on the size of the next interest rate hike in December.
On the data front, US manufacturing and services PMI readings, Michigan consumer sentiment, durable goods orders and new home sales will provide impetus.
