The USD/JPY value recently had a surge reaching a high of 151.97. This upward trend is due to certain monetary policy conditions in Japan and the US. Market predictions also anticipate a continued upward movement. Japanese Finance Minister, Shunichi Suzuki, expressed concern over the rate’s fluctuations and assured measures will be taken to maintain a stable market.
Suzuki called these shifts “one-sided, speculative bets” contributing to instability. He reiterated that Japan is prepared for necessary actions to curb volatility. Market experts predict that once the USD/JPY surpasses the 151.95-152.00 bracket, the next significant milestone could be around 160.00—a level not achieved since April 1990.
In other currency news, the EUR/USD pair remains steady, while the USD/JPY trends towards 151.00. Threats of Japanese officials interfering in the foreign exchange market has strengthened the Yen.
