The Japanese yen has remained under pressure, holding near its daily low against the U.S. dollar. Despite the yen’s struggle, the downside potential appears limited, as traders weigh the stronger U.S. dollar and Japan’s cautious stance on monetary policy. The yen’s weakness comes amid a broader risk-on market sentiment, with investors favoring the U.S. dollar in light of recent economic data and expectations for the Federal Reserve’s policy actions.

However, the yen’s fall is likely to be contained, as market participants are wary of the Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) potential interventions. The BoJ has signaled that it will remain committed to its ultra-loose monetary policy to support Japan’s recovery, creating a ceiling for the yen’s downside. While the U.S. dollar has maintained strength, traders remain cautious about any signs of a shift in global risk sentiment that could favor the yen as a safe-haven asset.

The USD/JPY pair has been consolidating near recent highs, with the yen struggling to gain ground. The strength of the U.S. economy, coupled with rising yields, continues to support the dollar, while Japan’s slower economic recovery limits the upside potential for the yen. With global trade dynamics also weighing on sentiment, market players are likely to see limited volatility in the yen unless new developments emerge from the BoJ or U.S. economic reports.

Looking ahead, USD/JPY may maintain its current range, with the yen’s downside risks limited as long as the U.S. dollar remains strong. Market events, including further Federal Reserve announcements or global economic shifts, will likely determine whether the yen can regain strength or continue its struggle near its daily low.
