USD JPY

The budding trade war and developments on the tariff front could well outweigh the modest historical seasonal tendencies in February for forex pairs like EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and USD/JPY.

Trump volatility is back and the USD has put in wide swings on the back of the tariff topic, and Europe still seems in the President’s crosshairs which could keep the DXY volatility flowing.

You’ll be forgiven for not realising that economic data was released on Monday, amid the influx of trade war headlines. But if US growth estimates and manufacturing are anything to go by, we’re in for another hot ISM services print later this week.

USD/JPY has shown a higher-low on the daily chart and at this point it seems to have evaded much of the tariff drama that’s engulfed other USD-pairs.

Some bullish fingers have likely been burned at this week's open, given the relatively bullish positioning on S&P 500 futures alongside short bets against the VIX rising to a 6-month high last week.

USD/JPY traders beware—market drivers are shifting. While rate differentials remain key, an intensifying trade war could see risk aversion take control. Will the yen prove to be the ultimate safe haven?

Japanese economic data keeps the BOJ on track for more rate hikes. With USD/JPY teetering near key support, the risk of a downside break is growing. Will the bulls dig in, or is another leg lower on the horizon?

USD/JPY has lost nearly 1% of its value over the last two trading sessions, allowing the Japanese yen to regain ground against the U.S. dollar.

It has been a lively start to the week for tech investors with Nvidia weighing on the broader market and yields, while investors sought the safety of the yen following news of open-source AI by China's DeepSeek. And this keeps my downside targets for USD/JPY alive and well.

Fear drove early-session U.S. trade and this stands in stark contrast to just a week ago, when equities were driving to all-time-highs after the inauguration of President Trump.

Yen-weakness is showing prominently against both the Euro and British Pound after the BoJ rate hike, and USD/JPY has held a major spot of support at 155.00.

The US dollar forecast remains modestly bullish in our view, because of Trump’s inflationary policies. The fact that it has weakened a little in recent days is more of a reflection of the relief rally that some currencies like the euro have enjoyed.

USDJPY, Gold Forecast: The Japanese Yen stabilizes amid the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) rate hike decision, while gold surpasses the $2,730 barrier eyeing all-time highs.

Is the US dollar’s reign nearing its end? EUR/USD breaks higher while USD/JPY flirts with a key uptrend following the BoJ’s hawkish hike. A shift could be underway—are you ready?

The BOJ delivered the full 25bp hike as expected, which takes their interest rate to a 17-year high of 0.5%. Data released a few hours before the BOJ’s hike showed that Japan’s core CPI rose to a 16-year high, and the BOJ cited the fact that many firms have said they will continue to raise rate this year. And it is these growing wage pressures which have forced the BOJ to increase their price forecasts for fiscal year 2025 and 2026.

USD/JPY may be consolidating for now, but not for much longer if the ~230-pip implied volatility range is correct. And with a 25bp hike expected from a central bank notorious for not sticking with market consensus, nothing should be taken for granted.

DAX steadies around a record high. USD/JPY is muted ahead of Trump's speech & BoJ rate decision.
