    Dominant driver⚖️ Interest-rate differentials
    3-month trend🟢 Uptrend

    Currently, MYR/JPY is trading close to its recent lows at 38.58, holding near the 90-day average. The pair is supported by the rate differential, as the large US-Japan interest rate gap continues to pressure the Yen. Over the next few sessions, the pair may remain under downward pressure if risk-off sentiment persists, with safe-haven flows favoring the Yen and weighing on the MYR.

    💸 Transfer implications

    • Expats: sending money to Japan may face less favourable conditions if the pair declines further.
    • Travellers: exchanging MYR for JPY might find rates less advantageous than recent levels.
    • Businesses: paying overseas JPY invoices with MYR could see increased costs if the pair weakens.

    🧭 Key drivers

    • Rate gap: The widening US-Japan interest rate differential supports Yen strength and presses MYR/JPY lower.
    • Risk/commodities: Global risk-off sentiment, driven by geopolitical tensions, supports safe-haven currencies like JPY.
    • Global factors: Ongoing geopolitical tensions continue to sustain risk-off flows and safe-haven demand.

    ⚠️ What could change it

    • Upside risk: A reduction in safe-haven flows or easing geopolitical tensions could support the MYR.
    • Downside risk: A further deterioration in risk appetite or further Yen weakness could put additional pressure on the pair.
