Le Yen (JPY) suit une tendance baissière sur le FX (tendance haussière USD/JPY) depuis plus de 15 ans. Début août, une intervention combinée massive Fed/BoJ a entraîné une baisse de 800 pips du taux USD/JPY. Tokyo et Washington ont dit stop à la chute du Yen. Le sommet définitif a-t-il été fait à 164 JPY ?
Derek Halpenny, Head of Research Global Markets EMEA & International Securities sits down with James Roulston in FX Institutional Sales to discuss the FX and rates impact following the much weaker than expected US jobs report. Derek also outlines the implications for USD/JPY following the joint intervention last week and highlights using historic examples why joint intervention matters but policy and fundamentals matter more.

August 3, 2026 | Season 8 | Episode 24A market can look calm right up until it doesn't, and this week's setup shows why. We start with the big drivers that hit all at once: the Federal Reserve holding interest rates steady, a bond market that reacts to credibility as much as data, and a fresh wave of headlines out of Iran that immediately changes the tone for oil, stocks, and risk appetite. If you follow geopolitics and markets, the Strait of Hormuz and the path of crude prices are not abstract. They are inputs into inflation expectations, Treasury yields, and equity multiples.Then we zoom out to something most investors don't spend enough time on: the psychology behind leadership. I walk through how Winston Churchill's early combat and war-correspondent years built a risk tolerance and communication style that later shaped real decisions, and how Donald Trump's New York City tabloid era taught him to treat media attention as leverage. The takeaway is practical: if you want to anticipate how policy is messaged and how pressure is handled, you study the blueprint, not just the latest headline.From there, we get tactical on what moved markets: the rare US and Bank of Japan currency intervention that jolts USD/JPY and flows directly into the Treasury market, plus the AI trade unwind that shows how leverage and margin calls can force liquidation even when a thesis is directionally right. We also break down big tech earnings from Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Apple to separate AI capital expenditures from real AI monetization. Finally, we close with a second major investing theme gaining speed: GLP-1 obesity drugs and why the next wave, including oral pills, could reshape healthcare and markets.If this helps you think more clearly about risk, rates, tech earnings, and the narratives that move prices, subscribe, share the episode, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.** For informational and educational purposes only, not intended as investment advice.

Hey, traders! Do you know what the best forex pair is to trade? If you don’t, listen up. I’ve got some interesting news to cover for you. Hey there, Traders! It’s Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 643. What is the best Forex pair to trade? Now, I’ve been asked 4 times this week already by 4 different people. And it’s the same question. It is, Andrew, can you tell me please, what’s the best forex pair to trade? What should I be looking at? Now, what it does show me is that unfortunately, there’s a lack of knowledge out there by so many people when it comes to trading, and they just always want to know what is the answer? What’s the best thing, what time frame, what pair? What’s my stop loss? Where should my profit target be? All those type of things. And it unfortunately shows that most people don’t do enough research into trading. Don't limit your trading opportunities. And the problem is, is that people see the major currencies like the EUR/USD or the USD/JPY, and they think that’s the only pair I should trade. And I suppose, in all honesty, when I started, you know, it was the GBP/USD, the USD/CHF, the USD/JPY, and then later on the EUR/USD. And everybody thought those were the 4 pairs you should focus on trading. And the issue is, why just those 4 pairs? Now, when you think about it, all 4 of those that I’ve just mentioned are all US dollar dominated. And therefore, if you focus on pairs that are just US dollar dominated, you’re not giving yourself a very good chance of success because they’re all likely to move, much of the time, in the same direction. And because it depends if the US is strong or the US is weak. Give yourself a higher probability of success. And as a trader, I like to give myself the best probability chance of success. So when it comes to which pair is the right 1 to trade, I don’t get aligned to any pair. I look at all the different pairs and you can very quickly scan through the charts, looking to see if there’s a suitable trade there, yes or no. And the other reason I do that on a daily basis is because I also prefer to trade with strength and weakness. An example of Strength and Weakness. Now, give you an example. Let’s focus again on the EUR/USD. What happens if for today the Euro is really strong and the US is really strong, and that’s the only pair that you look at? Then you’re trading 2 strong pairs together, and you see how the problem might come. 1, you’re unlikely to get many setups or good setups. And what happens if you buy the EUR/USD because the Euro’s got some strength, but you also know now that, and you would know this only if you look at more pairs. If you don’t look at more pairs, you’re not going to know this. The US dollar has got strength. So why would you be buying the EUR/USD if you know that the US dollar has got strength? And so, what about other pairs in the market? What about pairs like the CAD/JPY or the NZD/CHF? And so by analyzing multiple markets at the same time, you can soon understand which pairs are strong, which pairs are weak because, doesn’t it make more sense to trade a strong currency against a weak currency? And so that, to me, adds more basis to my trading. And again, it’s just adding more and more probability to my trading. So when someone says to me, what’s the best pair? I can’t answer it. And of course, there’s more things on top of this, you know, to consider. What are the current market conditions? It depends on the day, what’s happening in the market right now, what news has been, what news there might be coming up, what time frame chart you’re looking at, what’s the conditions? What’s the time of year? Right now we’re in the Northern Hemisphere summer. Does that mean that there’s less price action in maybe, say, the Franc and the Euro? Maybe. You know, so all these things have got to come into it. What’s the characteristic of the market right now? And so by picking 1 or 2 pairs and giving you that as the answer, that’s not me doing my job. That’s not what I suggest you do. Look at multiple FX pairs. I suggest that you scan through multiple pairs and give yourself a high-quality chance of a successful trade. Use strength and weakness. Use candle patterns. Don’t limit yourself to just something against the US dollar. It’s not a wise idea. And so there’s a lot more you can be doing to help yourself there. And if you do want to look at pairs that include the US dollar, why not look at things like the AUD/USD or the NZD/USD? Because maybe if that US is still strong, maybe the Aussie and Kiwi are weak that day. So therefore you might be selling the AUD/USD or the NZD/USD. So all these things can certainly massively help you. Check out my new Masterclass.

This is the latest in my series of podcasts explaining how economics works in the credit crunch and now virus pandemic era. This week I give my thoughts on:- What's your view of the dilemma of adherence to the self-imposed fiscal rules against the need to fund defence/infrastructure commitments. Shaun, I'd be interested in your view of the 10-year gilt yield, nudging 5.1%. How much of this rise is down to the Middle East situation and oil price, and how much of it to Spendy Andy? I guessed 5% was when it starts to break so we shouldn't have to wait long. I wonder if we'll have to have an emergency budget? The lack of volatility and tight ranges, could be a "hint" that the BOJ has finally realised that their interventions so far have only donated money to a few players - and now they could be on the offer - ready to destroy USDJPY when others start the move down - first time clever intervention ?

VOV1 - Đồng Yên giảm xuống mức thấp nhất so với đồng đôla kể từ năm 1986, bất chấp việc Ngân hàng Trung ương Nhật Bản liên tục điều chỉnh tăng lãi suất nhằm bình thường hóa chính sách tiền tệ.Đà mất giá kéo dài của đồng nội tệ làm gia tăng sức ép đối với Chính phủ Nhật Bản và thị trường ngày càng kỳ vọng Tokyo sẽ phải can thiệp để ổn định tỷ giá. Theo dữ liệu của Sở giao dịch chứng khoán Luân Đôn (LSEG), đồng Yên có thời điểm giao dịch ở mức 162,19 yên đổi 1 USD, mức thấp nhất trong gần 4 thập kỷ. Diễn biến này ngay lập tức thu hút sự chú ý của thị trường, nhất là sau khi Nhật Bản đã chi hơn 11,7 nghìn tỷ yên từ cuối tháng 4 đến cuối tháng 5 để hỗ trợ đồng tiền.Bộ trưởng Tài chính Nhật Bản Satsuki Katayama khẳng định chính phủ sẵn sàng hành động nếu thị trường xuất hiện những biến động quá mức. Trong khi đó, Chánh Văn phòng Nội các Minoru Kihara cho biết chính phủ sẽ tiếp tục xây dựng một nền kinh tế ít phụ thuộc hơn vào biến động tỷ giá, đồng thời vẫn duy trì khả năng can thiệp thị trường ngoại hối khi cần thiết. Tuy nhiên, ông từ chối bình luận về mức tỷ giá hiện tại của đồng yên.Theo chuyên gia Ruth Carson tại Mỹ, việc đồng Yên liên tiếp lập mức thấp mới có thể làm gia tăng áp lực trong nước, qua đó khiến khả năng chính phủ phải hành động trở nên lớn hơn. Tuy nhiên, bà cho rằng hiệu quả của bất kỳ đợt can thiệp nào cũng chỉ mang tính tạm thời.“Điều mà thị trường đang quan tâm lúc này là khả năng Chính phủ Nhật Bản can thiệp vào thị trường ngoại hối. Câu hỏi không còn là liệu khả năng đó có tồn tại hay không, mà là nó đang ở gần đến mức nào và khi nào các nhà chức trách sẽ thực sự hành động. Cần lưu ý rằng tỷ giá USD/JPY không tăng vọt trong thời gian ngắn mà đã leo dần trong một thời gian. Tốc độ mất giá của đồng Yên là một trong những yếu tố quan trọng mà giới chức Nhật Bản theo dõi khi cân nhắc việc can thiệp. Nếu đồng Yên lao dốc nhanh và mạnh, thị trường chắc chắn sẽ phải đặt trong trạng thái cảnh giác cao.”Ngân hàng Trung ương Nhật Bản (BOJ) mới đây đây đã nâng lãi suất chuẩn lên 1%, mức cao nhất kể từ năm 1995, tiếp tục lộ trình bình thường hóa chính sách tiền tệ bắt đầu từ năm 2024. Tuy nhiên, động thái này vẫn chưa đủ để đảo ngược xu hướng suy yếu của đồng Yên, khi thị trường tiếp tục kỳ vọng Cục Dự trữ Liên bang Mỹ (Fed) sẽ duy trì mặt bằng lãi suất cao, qua đó giữ khoảng cách đáng kể về lãi suất giữa 2 nền kinh tế.Theo giới phân tích, chính chênh lệch lãi suất này đang thúc đẩy các giao dịch chênh lệch lãi suất (carry trade), trong đó nhà đầu tư vay đồng Yên với chi phí thấp để đầu tư vào các tài sản có lợi suất cao hơn ở nước ngoài, qua đó tạo thêm áp lực giảm giá đối với đồng tiền Nhật Bản.Cùng với diễn biến trên thị trường tiền tệ, lợi suất trái phiếu chính phủ Nhật Bản cũng tăng mạnh ở các kỳ hạn siêu dài. Trên thị trường chứng khoán, chỉ số Nikkei 225 có thời điểm tăng hơn 1.100 điểm, tương đương hơn 1,6%, nhờ lực mua quay trở lại đối với nhóm cổ phiếu trí tuệ nhân tạo và chất bán dẫn sau giai đoạn điều chỉnh. Tuy nhiên, áp lực chốt lời xuất hiện về cuối phiên khiến chỉ số thu hẹp đáng kể đà tăng và dao động trong biên độ hẹp.Đồng Yên yếu tiếp tục mang lại lợi ích cho các doanh nghiệp xuất khẩu và hỗ trợ thị trường chứng khoán Nhật Bản duy trì vùng đỉnh lịch sử. Tuy nhiên, mặt trái là chi phí nhập khẩu, đặc biệt đối với năng lượng và nguyên liệu được thanh toán bằng USD, tiếp tục tăng cao, làm gia tăng áp lực lạm phát và bào mòn sức mua của các hộ gia đình. Điều đó khiến việc ổn định tỷ giá trở thành một trong những thách thức kinh tế lớn nhất đối với Chính phủ Nhật Bản trong giai đoạn hiện nay./.

Today, we look at the drivers of the stronger US dollar as it pulls to new highs for the year and what may be holding back USDJPY from participating in the greenback rally as those forty-year highs from 2024 approach.

How many currency pairs should you look at as a trader? Should you just focus on 1 or 2 pairs, or should you look at multiple? Let’s talk about that and more right now. This is Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 637. How many pairs do you trade? So today I want to talk about currency pairs. And should you just focus on 1 or 2 pairs? And the reason I want to talk about that is I often hear about people that say, look, I just look at the EUR/USD. And that’s all I look at, and it’s all I want to focus on. And I hear other people that say to me, look, this strategy that I’ve got here, it only works on the USD/JPY on a 1-hour chart, for example. And I don’t understand why people do either of those. Don't focus on just 1 pair. To me, it doesn’t make any logical sense, because if you’re focusing on just 1 or 2 pairs, then what happens if those pairs are not moving particularly well at the time, or they’re not giving good setups? And the reason why a strategy should only work on 1 pair or 1 time frame again, doesn’t make any logical sense if you have a good sound technical strategy. I look at multiple pairs to trade every day. So for me, I’ve for many years now, over 20 years, constantly looked at multiple forex pairs on a daily basis. And the reason I do that is I’m scanning through the charts really quickly and then say 10 minutes, 15 minutes, I then scan through all the currency pairs and other non-forex markets on multiple time frame charts once a day. Or if I want to look twice a day, I can do exactly the same. So it might take a total of 30 minutes a day. And it gives me so many more high-quality setups. So as an example, let’s go back to the EUR/USD. A trade example. If you’re trading that and there’s nothing really showing on there, then maybe you should look at the EUR/CHF, EUR/GBP, EUR/NZD, EUR/AUD, EUR/CAD, EUR/JPY. Why would you focus on just the EUR/USD? And if you are out there looking for currency strength and weakness, you can’t tell if you’re looking at just the EUR/USD. Is the euro strong? Is the euro weak? Is the US strong? Is the US weak? Are they both strong? Are they both weak? And so you’re not giving yourselves a lot of chance of having a successful strategy long term if that becomes your limitation. A strategy needs to work on all pairs, all markets and all time frames. So for me as a technical trader, a strategy should work across all currency pairs, in fact all markets and all time frame charts as well. So whether you’re looking at, say, a daily chart or a weekly chart or a 4-hour chart or a 1-hour chart, the strategy, if you have a good sound strategy, should work across all those different time frame charts as well. And again, that opens up the possibility of more quality setups. Trades from this week that I've taken. Now, to give you a great example, over the last week or so, some of the forex pairs have been quite dreadful to trade. There’s not been a lot of price action. There’s been a lot of sideways movement, some indecision, and sometimes at the beginning of the weeks we’re now seeing some big gaps. And, you know, therefore, by having the ability to look at shorter time frame charts, we’re seeing a lot of good shorter time frame charts. My clients have been posting a lot of 2-hour charts and 30-minute charts recently that have been really good, but also go to the other extreme on the weekly charts. I’ve got 2 trades open on the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 taken off the weekly charts at the beginning of this week. They are both in excellent, excellent profit, selling both of them and based on the weekly charts, I have that longer-term bias on those 2 pairs right now that they’re dropping, which they’re currently doing. And as I’m recording this video, both of them are in very good profit. Don't take “B” grade setups. So again, it comes back to not limiting yourself. Don’t be restrictive. Look at multiple pairs, multiple markets, multiple time frame charts. And if your strategy is good and sound and quality, then these setups will appear. And what that also does is it stops me taking what I call B-grade setups. If I see something that’s just not there, I don’t trade, but by having the ability to scan through those multiple markets and multiple time frame charts, I’m giving myself a higher probability chance of getting what I call an A-trade setup. It has all the things that I’m looking for in my favor. View our new look website and Masterclass. If you’d like to find out more, there’s a couple of things you can do. You can jump onto my masterclass. If you’ve not already been on that, have a look at the masterclass. I’ll put a link to that here as well. Client review testimonial videos. And over the last few weeks, we’ve had a lot of our more experienced traders from right around the world, experienced clients, jump on and have given some really nice review testimonial videos, which I’m starting to add to the website. Have a look at those. You know, people that have been with us for years that are doing really well from their trading, and people just like you who may have been a little bit confused or a bit lost when they first joined us, but now they have a community around them. They have a proven quality strategy with low risk, low drawdown and more importantly than anything, they now know as traders what to do by themselves. They know what charts to look at, when to look at them, and they know exactly how to enter and exit the market to give themselves a very low drawdown per trade and equal risk per trade, but also high reward-to-risk outcomes. So that to me is another important part of our success. The different markets, the different time frame charts, the 1 strategy and the community, the low drawdowns, high reward-to-risk. Put all that together, you’ve got yourself a winning strategy and a winning formula. So have a look at those videos. Have a look at the masterclass if you would like to find out more about how we do this, and if you’d like to come on board and join us here at The Forex Trading Coach, I’ll see you this time next week. This is Andrew Mitchem at The Forex Trading Coach. Enjoy trading again. Like I say each week now, get outside, enjoy the outdoors. That’s why I’m not doing these videos in front of the screen. Trade and enjoy life. You know, very often trade for 10-15 minutes a day. Get outside, work, family, music, sport, hobbies, whatever it is that you like doing, do that and your trading will take care of itself. Bye for now.

Dan Nathan speaks with David Rosenberg about a market week packed with tech earnings, GDP, PCE, the Fed, oil above $100, and a sharp USD/JPY move. Rosenberg argues the U.S. economy is K-shaped, with Q1 GDP growth heavily driven by AI-related tech capex while non-tech business investment contracts, and consumer spending exceeding flat-to-negative real disposable income mainly due to a falling savings rate, wealth effects at the high end, and credit reliance at the low end amid rising delinquencies. He says most sectors are losing jobs, productivity has driven nearly all recent growth, and an oil price shock is a supply-side tax likely to weaken demand rather than create sustained inflation. They discuss a divided Fed under new chair Kevin Warsh, high market concentration, extreme valuations with a near-zero equity risk premium, and whether yen moves or oil are bigger risks for equities. —FOLLOW USYouTube: @RiskReversalMediaInstagram: @riskreversalmediaTwitter: @RiskReversalLinkedIn: RiskReversal Media
