Monetary policy divergence between the Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan remains the dominant driver of USD/JPY levels in 2026, with traders closely tracking the narrowing but still-elevated interest rate differential. As of mid-September, the pair trades near 155–156 after recent yen strength pulled it below 154 on BoJ tightening expectations, though it has rebounded amid firmer U.S. Treasury yields above 5% and sticky inflation data supporting Fed rate-hike pricing of roughly 100 basis points over the next year. Japan’s fiscal pressures, elevated energy import costs, and history of large-scale interventions near 160 add downside risk for the dollar, while upcoming FOMC and BoJ decisions this week will shape near-term implied probabilities. Broader factors include U.S. labor and CPI releases alongside BoJ communications on the pace of normalization toward 1.25% or higher.
