Comment:
USD/JPY (U.S. dollar – Japanese yen) rallied strongly from mid-July through late August, but its bullish momentum has begun to fade over the past few sessions after prices failed to clear channel resistance at 147.35. Following this rejection, the pair has transitioned into what appears to be a consolidation phase, marked by reduced volatility and predominantly indecisive market movements. Japanese Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki said on Friday that currencies should be set by markets although sudden moves are undesirable, while signaling no clear sign of intervening in the market to shore up the weak yen, which is driving up import bills.
