[Pickup Article] Summary of This Week’s Featured Articles [Updated 2026/08/24]
This Week’s Key FX Topics
USD/JPY trades in the mid-158 to 159 range. The projected range for next week (8/24–28) is 157.00–161.50, making it a week to gauge the direction of monetary policy in Japan and the U.S.
The Jackson Hole Symposium will be held August 27–29, with Fed Chair Waller speaking on the 28th. The main focus is whether he can dispel the mounting uncertainty around monetary policy since taking office.
On the 26th, the July U.S. PCE deflator and the revised Q2 GDP will be released. If inflation’s stickiness is confirmed, it could fuel a test of the 160s; if a clear slowdown emerges, a break below 158 may come into view.
Also on the 28th, the preliminary annual benchmark revision of U.S. employment statistics will be published. A significant downward revision could weigh on the dollar on the view that “U.S. employment was weaker than expected.”
On the yen side, remarks by BOJ Deputy Governor Himino on the 27th and Tokyo ward-area CPI on the 28th are in focus. With July national core CPI accelerating to +1.8%, expectations for an additional rate hike at the September meeting continue to weigh on USD/JPY.
