As USD/JPY marched crept closer to 2024’s 38-year highs, traders knew they were entering territory where Tokyo becomes increasingly uncomfortable. That sensitivity was evident when Japan’s Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama revealed she had held talks with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. The pair dipped briefly on the news, but the move quickly lost momentum. The
Australian equities inched higher in early Tuesday trade, hovering near 8,830 after three consecutive sessions of losses.

USD/JPY is acutely sensitive to any official confirmation of these talks, with the yen already within a whisker of levels that triggered record intervention earlier this year. A break above 161.96 would take the pair to its weakest since 1986, a psychologically and politically significant threshold that raises the probability of unilateral Japanese action. The
