USDJPY increased sharply with the daily expansion trend
Today, the USD/JPY pair is attracting a lot of buying activity on the first day of the new week and seems to have halted its retreat from the 150.75-150.80 level, the highest since October 2022 touched last week. However, Samson still maintains faith in the price and this currency pair is currently trading around the 149.70-149.75 area. It has gained less than 0.10% for the day as traders weigh up a crucial central bank meeting before placing bets on a new direction.
So, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) is expected to announce its decision on Tuesday amid increasing speculation about the possibility of changing the yield curve control (YCC) policy. However, this poses a challenge for the bank to escape negative interest rates. This marks a clear divergence from other major central banks, including the Federal Reserve, and the risk appetite sentiment has made the Japanese Yen (JPY) a safe haven and a key factor driving favorable winds for the USD/JPY pair.
