The USDJPY pair has pulled back after reaching its highest level since mid-August, dropping to around 148.00 before recovering slightly. The Japanese Yen gained strength due to comments from Japan’s Vice Finance Minister for International Affairs, which raised concerns about potential market intervention. Additionally, global risk sentiment shifted, with rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East driving investors towards safer assets like the Yen. However, the US Dollar remains strong after a solid US jobs report on Friday, which lowered expectations of a large interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. Traders are likely cautious ahead of key events this week, including the release of the Fed’s meeting minutes and important US inflation data. These factors will play a major role in guiding the next moves in the USDJPY pair. In the meantime, market participants will keep an eye on any statements from Fed officials for short-term trading opportunities.
