Past
What happened
USD/JPY pushed to 159.88, within a whisker of its 52-week high, as yield differentials and BoJ caution kept the yen pinned.
Why
Why it matters
With US10Y at 4.45% and the BoJ slow to tighten, carry strongly favors the dollar — but intervention risk rises near 160.
Watch
What to watch
160.00 is the psychological and intervention trigger; a clean break targets 161.50, while jawboning could snap it back.
