USD/JPY closes above 157.00 JPY per USD on 4 September 2026 (confirmed by Bloomberg or Investing.com)

Miss ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 29. August 2026 · Predicted for 4. September 2026 · Based on: Statistical Pattern

Probability

82%

USD/JPY trades at 160.17 JPY on 29 August 2026, near recent weekly highs. The next BoJ meeting is not until 19–20 September 2026 (outside the forecast window). The Fed is expected to hold at its September meeting (open Cassandra prediction), supporting the dollar. A drop below 157 within six trading days would require a ~2% decline — historically rare without an explicit BoJ surprise. The weak NFP outlook (open prediction: below 80k) adds slight downside risk but is unlikely to produce a 3% yen rally.
