The USD/JPY pair extended its decline, inching closer to the 156.00 level as speculation intensifies that the Bank of Japan (BoJ) will raise interest rates in early 2025. This sentiment reflects mounting expectations for a shift in monetary policy after years of ultra-low rates.

Market participants are increasingly pricing in a possible rate adjustment in January, driven by signs of resilience in Japan’s inflation and labor market data. The yen’s strength signals confidence in a potential policy pivot, while the dollar struggles under persistent concerns about the Federal Reserve’s next steps.

Analysts believe the BoJ’s move would mark a significant departure from its dovish stance, further tightening global monetary conditions. A rate hike could bolster the yen, potentially causing further downward pressure on the USD/JPY pair in the weeks ahead.
