Analysis
USD/JPY traded in the 152–160 range through 2026, averaging around 157 year-to-date, as the pair remained caught between two opposing forces: a Fed on hold at 3.50–3.75% and a Bank of Japan gradually normalising from its ultra-loose policy. The BoJ raised rates to 0.75% by end-2025 (the highest since 1995) but the Fed-BoJ differential still favours the dollar significantly. Japan has repeatedly intervened to support the yen, reportedly spending over ¥10 trillion ($63 billion) in suspected operations through Q1–Q2 2026, though authorities have not confirmed the amounts. Oil-driven inflation has pushed Treasury yields higher in Q2 2026, reinforcing dollar demand and keeping USD/JPY elevated near multi-decade highs.
