USD/JPY : US Dollar / Japanese Yen

USD/JPY rose by 0.19% on Friday October 24, trading at 152.845 with a weekly gain of 1.39% and monthly gain of 2.74%. Core inflation accelerated to 2.9% in September, indicating persistent price pressures that could support the Yen. Japan recorded a trade deficit of xA5234.62 billion in September, a narrower gap than the previous year but still an imbalance that may weaken the Yen. The election of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who favors fiscal stimulus, suggests potential delays in Bank of Japan interest rate hikes, creating downward pressure on the Yen. Its 52-week high was 158.879, while its 52-week low was 139.889.
