Based on: Ongoing Event
USD/JPY stands at 163.83 on July 25 – a 40-year low. Japan intervened massively in April 2026 (¥11.73 trillion ≈ $73.4B) and possibly again on July 11 ($20.7B per Reuters), without lasting effect. MoF and BoJ officials have repeatedly warned against 'excessive volatility.' US Treasury urges further BoJ rate hikes. Another intervention this week is possible, but given intervention fatigue and no fresh MoF warning today: calibration 28%.

Verdict: Hit
Die Vorhersage ist eingetreten. Japan (MoF/BoJ) kaufte am 30. Juli 2026 (Donnerstag, New-York-Session) JPY im Markt – Bloomberg errechnete anhand von BoJ-Kontendaten ein Volumen von ca. ¥8,45 Bio. (~$52,8 Mrd.), was möglicherweise die größte Ein-Tages-Intervention Japans aller Zeiten war. Der USD/JPY fiel dabei um bis zu 3,3 %. Am 31. Juli bestätigte das MoF die Intervention indirekt über sein Monthly-Release (Zeitraum 29. Juni – 29. Juli 2026) und deutete US-Unterstützung an. Die offizielle gemeinsame Bestätigung einer koordinierten US-japanischen Intervention (FRB New York kaufte für das US-Treasury ebenfalls Yen) erfolgte am 3. August 2026. Quellen: Bloomberg (31. Juli 2026), Nikkei Asia, MoF Monthly FEIO Release 20260731, CNBC/Al Jazeera (3. August 2026).

The S&P 500 closed at 7,636.36 on 9 September 2026. Falling below 7,450 by month-end would require a 2.4% decline. Headwinds: Fed rate hike of 25bp on 16 September (CentralBank.Watch: 59% probability), August PPI above expectations (+5.4% YoY), Iran-Gulf risk premium. Stabilizing factors: hike largely priced in (Polymarket: 93% for zero 2026 cuts), Q2 earnings solid, no recession signals. Historically, a single 25bp September hike rarely causes a monthly decline above 2.5%.
