USD/JPY news for October 15, 2026
USDJPY has been driven by US inflation data and US bond yields, with the yen slipping to multi-week lows after CPI and inflation reports lifted the dollar, then recovering as falling yields weighed on the dollar. Attention has also focused on the Bank of Japan outlook, with reports the BoJ leans against a rate hike even as officials call for timely adjustments, alongside noted intervention risk around yen weakness.
