JPY Struggles Amid Rising US Dollar Strength

The Japanese Yen is struggling to capitalize on the boost from rising domestic inflation. Uncertainty surrounding the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) interest rate hikes, combined with an optimistic market sentiment and soaring US Treasury yields, has kept JPY under pressure.

Meanwhile, the US Dollar continues its dominance, hitting a new yearly high and providing further support to the USD/JPY pair. The relentless strength of the USD has bolstered buyers, leaving the Yen with little room to recover in the near term.
