JPY to USD 2026 Forecasts

Analysis of recent yen → dollar forecasts for 2026. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest Japanese yen to US dollar performance and trends.

 

USD/JPY Outlook: The USD/JPY exchange rate is slightly positive but likely to move sideways, trading above its 90-day average and within the mid-range of its recent levels.

Key drivers:

• The Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates in the future, which could weaken the USD.

• Oil prices are currently above average, which often supports the JPY due to Japan's energy import needs.

• The Bank of Japan's recent interest rate hike suggests a tightening monetary policy, aiming to combat inflation, despite recent easing of inflation rates in Tokyo.

Range: The USD/JPY is expected to drift within its recent range as fresh volatility from geopolitical events may impact movement.

What could change it:

• Upside risk: Any aggressive action by the BoJ to combat yen depreciation could boost the JPY.

• Downside risk: Renewed trade tensions due to tariff threats could press the USD lower, negatively affecting its value against the JPY.
