Market Fundamental Analysis for August 26, 2026 USDJPY
Event to watch today:
15:30 EET. USD - Change in GDP quarter over quarter
USDJPY:
The yen is receiving fresh fundamental support following an acceleration in inflation within Japan’s services sector. The Services Producer Price Index rose by 3.6% year on year in July, up from a revised 3.4% in June, strengthening the case for further interest rate increases by the Bank of Japan. This is important for USDJPY because expectations of faster policy tightening reduce part of the dollar’s previous interest-rate advantage.
Trading idea: SELL 159.05, SL 159.45, TP 158.15
