USD/JPY: Eyeing a break below 140 – DBS

USD/JPY is looking to test 140, DBS FX strategist Philip Wee notes.

BoJ to maintain its commitment to hike rates again

“USD/JPY is looking to test its crucial support level at 140 after ending last week at 140.85, its lowest closing level since July 2023.”

“Barring any hawkish surprises from the Fed, the Bank of Japan will likely maintain its commitment to hike rates again at its meeting on September 20.”

“With US data supporting a soft-landing outlook, a repeat of August’s acute market volatility due to an unwinding of yen carry trades is unlikely.”
