USD/JPY Weekly Special Report based on 1.00 Lot Calculation:
GEOPOLITICS:
- TRADE WAR: JAPANESE YEN RISES MORE THAN 5% ON SAFE-HAVEN DEMAND. The potential implementation of future tariffs by Trump, coupled with geopolitical uncertainties, boosted demand for safe-haven currencies such as the Japanese Yen. Since the moment Trump announced tariffs (February 1) on China, Mexico and Canada, the Japanese Yen appreciated by around 5.5% against the US dollar.
CENTRAL BANKS:
- WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19 AT 03:00 GMT: BANK OF JAPAN (BOJ) INTEREST RATE DECISION. On January 23, the Bank of Japan raised interest rates from 0.25% to 0.50%, marking the highest level in 15 years. Rising inflationary pressure in Japan increases the likelihood of a rate hike in March or April. Furthermore, some economists believe that the Bank of Japan will raise rates to 1% by the end of 2025.
- WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19 AT 18:00 GMT: FED INTEREST RATE DECISION. The Federal Reserve is expected to keep interest rates unchanged at 4.5% in March, but it is expected to cut rates to 4.00% or lower by the end of 2025.
