USDJPY trend forecast February 10, 2025
The USD/JPY pair advanced by 0.48% to 152.10 on Friday, bolstered by the US Dollar’s strength amid cautious remarks from Federal Reserve officials. With the US labor market holding firm, traders are closely watching the upcoming Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report, which is projected to show a 175K increase in jobs for January. However, an alternative estimate suggests a slightly higher 199K figure, indicating sustained labor market resilience.
Market participants anticipate the unemployment rate to remain steady at 4.1%, with wage growth stabilizing at 3.8% year-over-year. Any unexpected deviations in the data could influence market sentiment, particularly if stronger employment figures reinforce the Fed’s cautious approach to potential rate cuts.
