July’s Finale—Fed Tones, BOJ Optimism & Growing Your Size

Markets wrapped up July on a cautious high note. Fed minutes kept rate‐cut hopes alive, sending U.S. equities to modest gains, while Treasury yields plateaued on data swings. Yet in Tokyo, the BOJ’s decision to hold rates and tout a brighter inflation outlook failed to bolster the yen—traders honed in on Governor Ueda’s caution over trade risks, leaving JPY on the defensive. As volatility stirs between policy whispers and cross‐asset rotations, your edge comes from three pillars: distilling the daily market pulse, reading currency‐specific catalysts, and building the mental muscle to confidently handle larger position sizes.

⚡ Daily Broad Market Recap – July 31, 2025

🔥JPY Weakens After July BOJ Decision & Presser Despite Optimistic Outlook

  • The BOJ kept its benchmark rate at 0.5% and raised its inflation forecast, yet Governor Ueda’s cautious tone on global trade risks weighed on the yen.

  • JPY slid across the board post-press conference, underscoring market skepticism about sustained price pressures and wage gains.

🧠 3 Tips to Help You Trade Larger Positions

  • Scale in gradually: increase your lot size incrementally based on demonstrated consistency, not just account size.

  • Predefine risk: cap each trade’s dollar risk at a fixed percentage to keep P/L swings within your comfort zone.

This issue equips you to finish July strong and stride into August with clarity. We’ve got the top‐line market recap to gauge risk flows, a laser focus on JPY’s post-BOJ gyrations, and actionable psychology to help you scale up your trades without the jitters.
