USD/JPY bias flipped 25 times to weak bearish on September 28, 2026
The yen has been moving around warnings from Tokyo and talk of possible U.S.-Japan joint intervention, including remarks from currency diplomat Mimura and concern linked to Trump. Bank of Japan minutes and expectations around rate hikes are also in focus, alongside U.S. dollar strength and intervention risk. Oil and yields remain part of the broader foreign-exchange backdrop for USD/JPY.
