Currency experts predict the Japanese yen will hover between 158.50 and 160.00 against the U.S. dollar over the coming weeks. This view stems from Japan's central bank moving toward policy normalization while global factors like the U.S. presidential election create caution. The forecast involves major banks' strategists and matters to investors because it signals limited volatility in one of the world's most traded currency pairs, affecting trade, travel costs, and global markets.
