USD/JPY finds buyers at key support as yield gap remains central

CMC Markets Plc

USD/JPY has rebounded after testing a well-established support level, reinforcing the importance of this price zone in the current market structure.

The pair’s decline into support reflected a period of consolidation following earlier strength. However, the inability to sustain a break lower suggests that demand remains active at these levels. That is significant because this area has previously acted as a technical floor, and repeated reactions there can indicate that institutional positioning is aligned around a defined risk boundary.

The broader driver remains the interest rate differential. US yields have stayed comparatively elevated, while Japanese policy settings continue to be accommodative despite gradual adjustments in tone. As long as this gap persists, the structural case for USD strength against JPY remains intact.

CMC Markets plc (LON:CMCX) is a UK-based financial services company that offers online trading in shares, spread betting, contracts for difference and foreign exchange across world markets.
