Japanese Yen weakens and falls below 156.00 against USD despite potential intervention-driven gains

The Japanese Yen saw a surge against the US Dollar amid speculation of intervention by Japan’s financial authorities, reaching a two-week high. This came after the Federal Reserve’s hawkish signal contrasting with the Bank of Japan’s decision to maintain near-zero interest rates. However, the JPY lost some gains and the USD/JPY pair rose above the 156.00 mark. Traders are now looking at upcoming US economic data and the Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report on Friday for further direction.

A possible intervention by Japan’s Ministry of Finance caused a steep decline in the USD/JPY pair to a two-week low during the late US session on Wednesday. However, the momentum weakened near the 153.00 mark. The Bank of Japan’s policy meeting minutes reiterated the need for continued support to achieve economic recovery. The Federal Reserve’s unchanged forward guidance signaled potential rate cuts later this year, leading to a USD slump and a positive risk tone in the market, diminishing the safe-haven appeal of the JPY.

Traders are now focusing on US economic data releases for direction, with the US monthly employment report, the Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report, being closely watched on Friday. Technical analysis indicates that USD/JPY may need to break through the 50% Fibonacci level around 156.50 for bullish momentum. On the flip side, a drop below the 155.70 region could push the pair towards the 155.00 mark. The market attention will be on the US jobs report to influence near-term USD price dynamics.

FAQs and information about the Japanese Yen highlight its status as one of the most traded currencies globally, with its value influenced by factors like the Bank of Japan’s policy, yield differentials, and risk sentiment. The BoJ’s currency control mandate and ultra-loose monetary policy have caused the Yen to depreciate against major currencies. The policy divergence between the BoJ and other central banks, especially the Fed, supports the US Dollar against the Yen. Additionally, the Japanese Yen is considered a safe-haven investment during turbulent times, strengthening its value against riskier currencies.
