This relates to their meeting last week here: BOJ governor Ueda says had regular information exchange with Japan prime minister TakaichiIt was a short and quick meeting, with it lasting for less than 20 minutes at the time. Yet, it’s still enough for Takaichi to voice her concerns with Ueda on the matter. However, this view was not expressed at the time last week by both parties following the meeting.The report by the Mainichi Shimbun says that multiple sources have revealed that Takaichi conveyed her reluctance towards Ueda on the matter of the BOJ proceeding with further rate hikes. As such, this now puts the central bank in a spot where it has to “be forced to make a difficult decision given its relationship with the prime minister”.The headline sees USD/JPY catch a bid with the pair now climbing up to 155.80-90 levels with buyers eyeing the 156.00 mark. It’s a solid bump up as buyers look to try and shake off the 155.00 mark for good, having been plagued by the figure level in dragging down price action before the daily close since last week.A firm break here also solidifies a push above the 100-day moving average of 154.98. And that will allow buyers to gather more momentum for a renewed push up.That being said, just be wary that any notable moves above the 155.00 barrier is likely to draw the wrath of Japan’s finance ministry. Intervention risks are heightened and will remain a key factor in limiting any gains in USD/JPY still for now.

💡 DMK Insight
So, the BOJ’s recent meeting between Governor Ueda and Prime Minister Takaichi might seem brief, but it’s a signal worth watching. The fact that Takaichi expressed concerns indicates potential shifts in Japan’s monetary policy stance, especially as inflationary pressures persist globally. Traders should consider how this could impact the yen, particularly if the BOJ hints at any changes to its ultra-loose policy. A stronger yen could affect export-driven stocks and commodities priced in yen, creating ripple effects across the forex market. Keep an eye on the USD/JPY pair; if it breaks below key support levels, it could signal a stronger yen trend. On the flip side, if the BOJ maintains its current course, it might lead to further depreciation of the yen, which could benefit exporters but hurt importers. Watch for any upcoming statements from Ueda that could clarify the BOJ’s direction, especially in the context of global economic indicators like U.S. inflation data. Timing is crucial here; any shifts in sentiment could play out in the next few weeks as traders react to evolving economic conditions.
📮 Takeaway
Monitor the USD/JPY pair closely; a break below key support could indicate a stronger yen and shift market dynamics.
