USD/JPY fell 0.23%. The yen gained slightly on the back of a weaker dollar and news from the US Treasury Secretary that Japan would be given priority in tariff negotiations with the US. However, weak Japanese economic data and a strong Nikkei stock index limited the safe-haven demand for the yen.

Amid global economic uncertainty, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) is considering lowering interest rates to reduce the impact of tariff policies and support economic growth. If this happens, while Japan maintains its ultra-low interest rate policy, the interest rate differential between the two economies could narrow and make the Japanese Yen more attractive to investors.

Goldman Sachs expert Kamakshya Trivedi said that the Yen is likely to rise to 140 Yen per USD, an increase of about 7% compared to the current level. According to him, the Yen is emerging as a safe haven asset, especially if the US economy faces the risk of recession in the near future.
