Japanese Yen hits weakest vs USD since July 2024, intervention risk rises

USD/JPY surged to 161.46, a level unseen since the 2024 yearly high of 161.99, as hawkish Fed rhetoric and climbing US Treasury yields continue to pressure the yen. The move brings yen intervention risk back into focus.

USDJPY

The Japanese yen plunged to its weakest level against the US dollar in nearly two years, with USD/JPY touching 161.46 — just shy of the July 2024 peak of 161.99. The decline extended as the Federal Reserve maintained a hawkish stance and US Treasury yields jumped, widening the interest-rate differential favoring the dollar.

Traders are now on alert for potential intervention by Japanese authorities, who have previously stepped in to support the yen when moves became too rapid. The current slide follows a pattern of yen weakness that has persisted since early 2024, driven by the Bank of Japan's reluctance to raise rates aggressively while the Fed holds tight.

At the time of writing, USD/JPY was trading firmly in positive territory, with no immediate signs of a reversal. The pair's trajectory will likely hinge on upcoming US data and any verbal pushback from Tokyo.
