Yen Strengthens on BoJ Hike Expectations, Intervention Risks Weigh on USD/JPY

The Japanese yen strengthened on Friday as expectations of a Bank of Japan rate hike and heightened intervention risks pushed USD/JPY lower. The pair traded around 161.60 after failing to sustain above 162.00.

USDJPY

The Japanese yen gained ground against the US dollar on Friday, with USD/JPY edging lower to trade near 161.60. The pair failed to hold above the 162.00 mark as profit-taking set in amid persistent caution over potential intervention by Japanese authorities.

Growing expectations of a Bank of Japan rate hike continued to support the yen. Traders remain wary of official action to bolster the domestic currency, which has kept the pair under pressure. The repeated failure to break and sustain above 162.00 may signal a shift in near-term momentum.
