Trader sentiment on USD/JPY reaching targeted levels in 2026 reflects persistent US-Japan monetary policy divergence, with the pair trading near 159 after a recent pullback from 160-year highs amid heightened geopolitical risks like tensions in the Strait of Hormuz boosting oil prices and risk aversion. The Federal Reserve maintains federal funds rates at 3.5%-3.75%, with futures implying a steady path and only modest 2026 cut odds, while the Bank of Japan signals potential yen-strengthening measures to curb rising inflation expected to hit its 2% target by 2027. Yield differentials continue favoring the dollar, though intervention threats loom; key catalysts include the BoJ's imminent April policy decision and upcoming US inflation data.
