• USDJPY forecast for 29 October 2025: 151.50–152.50

Fundamental analysis

The USDJPY rate edged up to 151.98 on Wednesday as investors await the Bank of Japan’s meeting, where policymakers are widely expected to keep interest rates unchanged.

Officials are set to discuss conditions for a potential resumption of the rate-hike cycle, as tariff-related risks gradually ease, although inflationary pressures still complicate the policy outlook.

Earlier, the yen strengthened by about 0.5% following a meeting between Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who urged Japan to pursue a sound monetary policy. Markets interpreted his remarks as a subtle criticism of Japan’s slow pace in tightening monetary conditions.
