Chart alert: USD/JPY breaches above 160 (21-month high), ignoring intervention risk
USD/JPY surges to a 21-month high above 160, defying intervention risks as yen weakness intensifies. Rising oil prices and a widening US–Japan rate differential continue to drive upside pressure, reinforcing the pair’s bullish momentum.
