Japanese Yen Faces Continued Decline Amid Interest Rate Differentials ========== The Japanese Yen (JPY) is facing a continued decline against the US Dollar (USD) due to the significant interest rate differential between the Bank of Japan (BoJ) and the Federal Reserve. The BoJ recently adjusted its interest rate to zero, but this has not stopped the yen's depreciation. Investors are awaiting the BoJ's meeting in July, where decisions on bond purchases will be made, potentially signaling a shift in Japan's monetary policy. Mixed economic signals from Japan show a decline in orders but an increase in industrial sector strength. Technical analysis suggests that the USD/JPY pair could reach 162.00 before a correction to 158.80 and another growth phase targeting 163.30. Traders will closely monitor upcoming data releases and central bank communications for insights into the yen's future direction. #JapaneseYen #InterestRates #BankOfJapan #FederalReserve #Usd/jpy https://www.investing.com/analysis/japanese-yen-faces-continued-decline-amid-interest-rate-differentials-200649902
