The USD/JPY exchange rate has been a dominant topic in Forex markets and overshoot risks. With diverging policies from the Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan (BoJ), the pair continues to climb. Analysts at Bank of America (BofA) warn of a possible USD/JPY overshoot before an expected correction in the first quarter of 2025.
Recently, USD/JPY surpassed 153 as traders adjusted their expectations for a BoJ rate hike in December. Initial predictions placed a 60% chance of a rate hike, but new reports suggest otherwise. These updates reduced the odds to just 16%, further pushing the yen lower.
The falling probability of a rate hike increases the risk of USD/JPY overshooting. Analysts believe that if the pair approaches 155, Japan’s Ministry of Finance may intervene in the Forex market. This intervention could occur before the BoJ's January meeting to stabilize the yen.
The BoJ's December policy meeting, set for December 18-19, is highly anticipated. Without a rate hike, Forex markets might interpret the BoJ’s stance as tolerance for USD/JPY trading near 155. Analysts also note that any post-meeting rally could have limited intervention risks due to thinner liquidity during year-end trading.
Understanding the dynamics of USD/JPY is crucial for traders. The focus remains on upcoming BoJ decisions and their impact on yen policy. Strategic planning is vital to navigate these market uncertainties.
