  "account": "The Japanese Yen faltered on Tuesday as oil prices propelled yields ahead of the Federal Reserve's decision. The US Dollar strengthened, aided by a sharp increase in oil and higher energy costs fueling inflation expectations, which lifted yields and the safe-haven Dollar. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meets on Wednesday, with markets anticipating a 25 basis points (bps) rise to 3.75%-4.00%, the first increase after five consecutive holds. US Retail Sales for August will be released on the same day. Strong labor figures, including a pickup in the ADP employment gauge, bolstered the hawkish case. The Bank of Japan (BoJ) is expected to announce a rate hike on Friday, with rates projected to reach 1.25%. Japanese wage and growth data have bolstered these predictions, and speculators have reduced their positions against the Yen since the Bank of Japan's summer intervention. The USD/JPY pair is trading at 155.18, holding a bullish short-term bias above the 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 154.37. Immediate resistance is at 155.22, while the four-hour downtrend line implied by the longer average could challenge further gains.",
  "summary": "USD/JPY trades near 155.20 on Tuesday, rising for a second straight day and pulling away from the roughly seven-month low it set last week. A firmer US Dollar (USD) is doing the work, helped by a sharp jump in Oil that has pushed US Treasury yields higher.",
