The Japanese yen has retreated from its two-month high as traders took profits after its recent surge. The currency had strengthened sharply against the U.S. dollar due to growing expectations of a policy shift by the Bank of Japan and increased safe-haven demand. However, as investors locked in gains, the yen saw a pullback, signaling a temporary pause in its rally.
Market analysts suggest that the yen’s recent strength was driven by speculation that the Bank of Japan might tighten its ultra-loose monetary policy. Rising concerns over U.S. economic data and shifting interest rate expectations also contributed to the currency’s movement. However, with profit-taking in full swing, short-term corrections have become evident.
Despite the current dip, traders remain cautious about the yen’s next move. The Federal Reserve’s upcoming statements on interest rates, as well as Japan’s own inflation data, could influence further price action. Some investors believe that if global uncertainties persist, the yen could regain strength as a safe-haven asset.
