USDJPY
The Japanese yen gained ground against the US dollar during Asian trading hours on Wednesday, with USD/JPY edging lower to around 159.45.
The move came as market participants priced in a stronger chance of another interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan, supporting demand for the yen.
The pair's decline reflected the shifting rate outlook rather than a broader dollar move, leaving USD/JPY under pressure near the 159.45 level.
