U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Bloomberg TV that the BOJ is behind the curve and will likely raise rates. This contrasts with BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda, who sees no urgency despite rising wages and service-sector inflation.
Bessent also called for a more dovish U.S. Federal Reserve, suggesting a total of 150 basis points in cuts, starting with a 50 bp reduction in September.
On the weekly chart, USD/JPY is trading near 147.75, holding just above mid-channel support in an uptrend from early 2024. With Japanese and U.S. rate paths potentially diverging, traders are watching for sustained downward pressure on the dollar. A key inflection zone for a potential pivot lies between 150.90 and 154.27.
