UOB Global Economics & Markets Research warns that USD/JPY has surged to 161.37 following the Fed’s hawkish hold, approaching levels that prompted Japanese authorities to intervene previously.

USDJPY

The US dollar extended gains against the yen after the Federal Reserve’s hawkish policy hold, pushing USD/JPY to 161.37, according to UOB Global Economics & Markets Research. The pair now trades near thresholds that historically triggered intervention by Japanese authorities.

Market participants are watching for possible action from Tokyo to stem yen weakness. Sharp moves beyond 160 have previously drawn official responses, raising the stakes for further upside attempts.
