Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda said the central bank will continue to raise interest rates if core inflation is in line with forecasts. However, Ueda emphasized the need for caution amid uncertainties related to the possible impact of U.S. tariffs on the economy.In turn, Japanese Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato denied accusations of U.S. President Donald Trump manipulating the yen exchange rate to gain trade advantages. At the same time, he emphasized that Japan has indeed recently intervened in the market, buying the yen rather than weakening it.Such information background supports the Japanese yen, and the USD/JPY currency pair is under pressure. However, at the moment, the market is facing support in the range of 139.50-141.50, which we wrote about earlier.
