[Pickup Articles] Summary of This Week's Notable Articles [Updated 2026/08/31]
This Week’s Key FX Topics
USD/JPY is expected to trade in a 158.50–161.30 range this week. The biggest focus is the U.S. August employment report released on September 4, making it a week to test how far a rise in U.S. yields will translate into a stronger dollar.
At last week’s Jackson Hole symposium, Fed Chair Waller suggested the possibility of additional rate hikes. Rate hike expectations for the September FOMC surged, accelerating dollar buying and pushing USD/JPY temporarily into the 160 range.
While caution over potential currency intervention by the government and the BOJ lingers in the 160 range, speculative net short positions in the yen have expanded for the second consecutive week.
This week brings a slew of key U.S. indicators, including the ISM Manufacturing PMI (9/1), ADP Employment (9/2), and ISM Services PMI (9/3). In addition, G7 and G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors meetings will be held.
In Japan, expectations for additional BOJ rate hikes are rising, with the next meeting on September 18 being the next focal point. U.S. equities saw bouts of sharp volatility following the Fed Chair’s remarks.
