USD/JPY bias flipped 14 times to neutral on September 29, 2026
The yen has been moving on warnings from Tokyo, including remarks from top currency diplomat Mimura about currency cooperation with the U.S. and the prospect of joint intervention. The Bank of Japan's move to raise rates to a 31-year high has left questions around continued pressure on the yen, with recent moves also linked to BoJ minutes, yields and oil alongside concerns flagged by U.S. officials.
