Tue, 09 Jun 2026 11:28:32 -0400

Investing.com -- The Bank of Japan is expected to raise its policy rate by 25 basis points to 1% at its June 15-16 policy meeting, with financial markets already largely pricing in the move and attention shifting to signals about the pace of future tightening.

Investing.com -- Japan’s recent currency intervention to support the yen may be followed by another round of action as early as the coming days, according to a report by Bank of America, which highlights recurring patterns in past interventions.

The move triggered a sharp appreciation in the yen, with the USD/JPY pair falling by roughly 5 yen—from around 160.6 to 155.6—mirroring the magnitude of past interventions.
