• USD/JPY rises for the twelfth consecutive day to renew a multi-decade high.
• US 10-year Treasury yields refresh 14-year high, 2-year bond coupons rally to the highest since 2007.
• Japan policymakers keep jawboning the prices without actual intervention.
• Risk catalysts, market meddling will be crucial for near-term directions, bulls can keep the reins.

The pair currently trades last at 149.834.

The previous day high was 149.91 while the previous day low was 149.1. The daily 38.2% Fib levels comes at 149.6, expected to provide support. Similarly, the daily 61.8% fib level is at 149.41, expected to provide support.

USD/JPY overcomes the early Asian session inaction as bulls approach the highest levels since 1990 while renewing the 32-year high at 150.09 on Thursday.

Earlier in the day, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) announced emergency bond-buying worth $667 million as the yields on the Japanese Government Bonds (JGB) briefly surpassed the central bank’s 0.25% limit.

The buying resurgence seen around the US Treasury yields could be associated with the latest leg higher in the USD/JPY pair, as bulls briefly recaptured the critical 150.00 mark.The benchmark 10-year US rates are at their highest level in 14 years above 4.15%, up 1.20% on the day while the pair is easing to near 149.90, at the time of writing.

The Fed-BOJ policy divergence continues widening, as the US central bank is expected to remain on course for aggressive tightening to tame red-hot inflation. Meanwhile, the BOJ policymakers stick to their stance that an easy monetary policy is required to support economic growth.

The spike, however, got quickly sold off above 150.00, as sellers resurfaced amid looming risks of another Japanese intervention. There is speculation that Japanese authorities may have conducted a “stealth” intervention in recent days, though Japanese officials have remained mum, per Kyodo News.
