The USD/JPY pair trades on a flat note near 159.50 during the early Asian session on Monday. Traders prefer to wait on the sidelines ahead of the key interest rate decisions from both the Bank of Japan (BoJ) and the US Federal Reserve (Fed).

DBS Group Research’s Chang Wei Liang says Japan’s March Consumer Price Index (CPI) data show underlying price pressures, with headline and core-core inflation edging higher and the Bank of Japan (BoJ) reportedly set to raise its inflation forecast.

Brown Brothers Harriman’s (BBH) Elias Haddad notes USD/JPY is consolidating just below 160.00 after slightly hotter March Consumer Price Index (CPI) that leaves Bank of Japan (BoJ) expectations unchanged for now.

USD/JPY trades around 159.50 on Friday at the time of writing, down 0.14% on the day and ending a sequence of four consecutive days of gains. The move comes amid a pullback in the US Dollar (USD), as improving market sentiment reduces demand for safe-haven assets.

MUFG’s Derek Halpenny highlights that USD/JPY is grinding higher toward the 160 level as geopolitical tensions and a prolonged Strait of Hormuz blockade fuel inflation risks.

United Overseas Bank (UOB) strategists Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann note USD/JPY has pushed up to 159.84, validating earlier expectations for a retest of 159.65. While upward momentum is slowing, they still look for the pair to edge higher within a 159.40–160.05 intraday band.
