过去几周，市场往往会看到日元在进入美国交易时段后走低，因此，除非夜间美国市场出现大幅避险走势，否则日元不太可能快速升破1美元兑153日元。Mizuho Securities said that if the Bank of Japan waits for the Trump administration to announce fiscal policy, then the yen will remain weak around 155 per dollar.
Mizuho's chief Japanese trading strategist Shoki Omori said that after Bank of Japan Governor Ueda Kazuo's speech, the yen's rise against major currencies was not based on fundamentals; it was more likely due to geopolitics and risk aversion related to Eastern Europe.
The Japanese data probably won't be too important for the yen.
Over the past few weeks, the market has often seen the yen fall after entering the US trading session, so unless there is a sharp safe-haven trend in the US market at night, the yen is unlikely to rise rapidly above the US dollar against 153 yen.
USD/JPY fell 0.4% to 154.79.
