USD/JPY news for September 23, 2026
The Japanese yen has weakened to a two-week low against the US dollar following upbeat US PMI data that lifted the dollar and Treasury yields, with yields reaching multi-year highs amid expectations of another Fed rate increase. The yen's slide also followed the Bank of Japan's split vote, while a sharp correction in oil prices briefly helped it recover and sustained weakness has raised discussion of possible intervention.
