USD/JPY bias flipped 24 times to weak bullish on August 13, 2026
The yen has given back a significant portion of the gains made after Japan's suspected intervention, with USD/JPY climbing to a two-week high as the dollar stays firm. Long US yields continue to support the dollar and carry trades, while traders now turn to the upcoming US CPI report for the next catalyst. BoJ rate-hike expectations are a counterweight, but have not been enough to offset current dollar strength.
