USD/JPY Rebounds as JPY Weakens Amid Market OptimismThe Japanese Yen (JPY) weakened after reaching a one-month high against the US Dollar and remained steady during the first European trading session on Tuesday. A general positive sentiment in the stock markets turned out to be the main factor weakening the safe-haven JPY. This, along with a modest recovery of the US Dollar (USD) from its two-week lows, helped the USD/JPY pair rise back above the 155.00 level.
However, any significant depreciation of JPY seems to be limited due to growing bets that the Bank of Japan (BoJ) will raise interest rates later this week. Furthermore, comments from US President Donald Trump on tariffs have sparked concerns about a trade war, along with declining US Treasury yields, which may help limit the losses for JPY. Traders may also choose to wait for the important two-day BoJ meeting starting on Thursday.
