The USD/JPY pair loses ground to near 159.20 during the early Asian trading hours on Wednesday. Speculations that Japanese authorities will step in again to prop up the currency provide some support to the Japanese Yen (JPY) against the US Dollar (USD).
Bank of Japan (BoJ) Governor Kazuo Ueda said that identical oil price hike can produce varied impacts based on wages, expectations, demand, and currency rates, Reuters reported on Wednesday.
The USD/JPY recovers some ground, rising by over 0.25%, as buyers ignore the intervention zone, with the pair clearing the 159.00 figure and aiming to challenge the 159.50 area. At the time of writing, the pair trades at 159.38.
BNP Paribas expects Japan’s GDP growth to slow to 0.5% in 2026 from 1.1% in 2025 as higher inflation and production costs weigh on activity. The Bank of Japan is projected to continue normalising policy, with a 25 bp hike in Q2 2026 and a terminal rate of 2.0% by end-2027.
BNY reports that BoJ Deputy Governor Ryozo Himino signaled continued consideration of further rate hikes, with timing dependent on how Middle East conflict impacts Japan’s economy and inflation.
UOB’s Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann note that USD/JPY has stalled into sideways trade after failing to extend losses, with intraday momentum indicators flat. On a 1–3 week view, they still hold a positive US Dollar (USD) bias above strong support, but acknowledge slowing upside momentum.
