USD/JPY bias flipped 7 times to bullish on October 12, 2026
The yen has faced pressure from an oil rally, fiscal concerns in Japan, and dovish signals from the Bank of Japan, with trade at times holding in a range during a Japanese holiday. The US dollar, meanwhile, climbed to a 17-month high ahead of US CPI data and Fed speakers, though it softened at one point on hopes for a Russia-Ukraine energy ceasefire. For USDJPY, this mix of Japan-focused drivers and broad dollar moves around oil, Middle East jitters, and US data is shaping conditions.
