USD/JPY news for September 25, 2026
USD/JPY has moved around the 158 level as strong U.S. data and expectations around Fed policy have pushed U.S. yields higher, pressuring the yen. At the same time, surging 10-year JGB yields and comments from Tokyo officials defending Bank of Japan independence have supported yen recovery at times. The combination of U.S. rate expectations with Japanese yield and policy developments is shaping price action around key technical levels including the 200-day moving average.
