USD/JPY bias flipped 21 times to neutral on August 11, 2026
The yen's recent strength from U.S.-Japan intervention has faded, with the currency coming under renewed pressure as investors focus on Bank of Japan policy divisions and Japan's narrowing fiscal surplus. USD/JPY has bounced from its lows, with attention turning to whether further intervention may follow, though the market's reaction to previous action suggests limited lasting impact.
