Japanese consumer confidence falls amid economic concerns; Yen weakens
Japanese consumer sentiment retreated significantly in March as escalating energy costs and a sustained depreciation of the Yen intensified inflationary anxieties.

Dollar Index dips amid slowing momentum in ISM Services PMI
The US Dollar Index (DXY) retreated after the March ISM Services PMI moderated to 54.0, underperforming analyst expectations. Significant contractions in employment and a slowdown in new export orders weighed on the greenback, despite intensified price pressures within the sector.

USD/JPY consolidates near highs as energy becomes the core driver
