USD/JPY outlook: Will dollar weakness and yen strength extend further?
Attention in foreign exchange trading from tonight through tomorrow will center on whether the rapid dollar drop and yen surge extend further. The projected trading range is 156.20 to 157.60 yen.
In European trading, the dollar briefly fell to the 156.30 yen level, down over 3 yen from the previous evening. Reports emerged that U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent, meeting Bank of Japan Governor Ueda on the 30th, said he strongly supports Japan taking resolute market and monetary policy measures. This fueled expectations of faster BOJ rate hikes, driving dollar selling and yen buying. Markets are watching for further yen strength. Tonight, the U.S. August ISM non-manufacturing index is due for release, while Federal Reserve Governor Waller and others are expected to speak.
