USD/JPY still trades above 130. Nevertheless, economists at ING forecast the pair at 120 by the end of the year.

USD/JPY will again prove the best vehicle to hedge a US recession

“FX markets currently price a 30% chance that the USD/JPY pair trades at 120 at, or even before, the end of the year.”

“120 is our year-end forecast and is premised on the United States going into recession and the Federal Reserve cutting rates by 100 basis points later this year.”
