USD/JPY forecast: Bearish momentum builds as key US data looms
USD/JPY is tied to the US rate outlook, with long-term yields driving the pair. CPI, PPI, and retail sales are the releases to watch, along with Federal Reserve remarks.

USD/JPY fails on first attempt of formidable resistance zone: the week ahead
The resistance zone overhanging USD/JPY held firm on the first time of testing, seeing it sink back below 150 on Friday. With little event risk in the US or Japan this week, and with its strong correlation with US Treasury yields weakening noticeably, price signals may provide the cleanest read for traders on directional risks in the coming days.
USD/JPY directional risks skewing lower as key resistance zone looms: the week ahead
USD/JPY continues to track US Treasury yields closely, while Japanese domestic factors remain largely irrelevant in the absence of a major policy shift. Thursday’s US jobless claims and retail sales reports are the key events, carrying the potential to meaningfully alter the US interest rate outlook.

USD/JPY surges on US rates rethink; Fed, bond auctions, inflation report to drive direction: the week ahead
USD/JPY is likely to take its cues from US bond yields this week, putting speeches from Federal Reserve officials, Treasury auctions and key consumer price inflation data firmly in the drivers’ seat. The only obvious exception to the rule would be a major escalation or de-escalation of tensions in the Middle East, an outcome that is incredibly difficult to predict.
USD/JPY biased lower unless US unemployment reverses its upward trend
The USD/JPY outlook changed materially last Friday with the price careening through multiple supports as Fed rate cut bets swelled. With a raft of fresh US labour market indicators to digest this week, it may take an unlikely decline in the US unemployment rate to prevent further downside ahead.
