The USD/JPY hits 121 yen
As the title suggests, the dollar/yen rose, reaching 121 yen.
Media releases have highlighted that the yen-dollar pair rose due to widening interest rate gaps as expectations of rate hikes increased, prompted by Chair Powell's speech.
In a broad sense that may be true, but since that is no longer news, technical factors are believed to have played a role.
