The USD/JPY pair climbed above the 163.00 level on Tuesday, briefly reaching 163.04 — the first time since December 1986 that the exchange rate has traded at this height. The move reflects sustained demand for the US dollar as a safe haven.

Market participants are weighing renewed geopolitical risks in the Middle East alongside a recent uptick in crude oil prices, which has further underpinned the greenback. The pair remains elevated near the 163.00 handle as trading continues.
