USD/JPY news for September 24, 2026
USD/JPY has risen to a three-week high above 158 as upbeat U.S. PMI and other strong U.S. data, combined with growing talk of Fed rate hikes, have lifted U.S. yields and the U.S. dollar. That move has pressured the Japanese yen, causing it to give back most of its earlier rally. Countering that to some extent, surging 10-year Japanese government bond yields have at times helped the yen gather strength, with the pair now testing its 200-day moving average.
