USD/JPY news for September 22, 2026
USDJPY has moved higher following contrasting central bank signals, with hawkish Federal Reserve expectations cited alongside the dollar while the yen was pressured after a dovish Bank of Japan rate hike on a split vote. Attention is also focused on growing fears of another Japanese intervention amid sustained yen weakness near 157.00, with a brief yen recovery linked to a sharp correction in oil prices.
