In March 2022 there is a real possibility that the US Federal Reserve could raise their interest rates up from 0.250% which they had set in 2020 to help with the Coronavirus pandemic. If this happens the interest rate differential would grow, and expectations would be for the dollar to appreciate against the yen. The major hurdles to the Fed following through with this rhetoric is a rising Omicron problem and potentially a worsening employment backdrop. The Fed are going to do whatever it takes to reduce the asset purchases through QE and then look to reduce their balance sheet.<\/p><p>During that month of February in 2016 the USDJPY dropped from 121.467 by over 8% down to 110.967 and then proceeded to make a low of 98.888 in May of 2016. The Bank of Japan have remained ultra-loose with their monetary policy since whereas the US dollar has gone through a couple of policy cycles.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d744346 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d744346\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ecbdd29\" data-id=\"ecbdd29\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9bacbd4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9bacbd4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2OJjKKR\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"501\" src=\"https:\/\/youtrading.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/USDJPY-1W-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-19831\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-451eba88 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"451eba88\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5cc6a7a7\" data-id=\"5cc6a7a7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eb791e4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"eb791e4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2OJjKKR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See real-time quotes<\/a> provided by our partner.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-03c453b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"03c453b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b699b63\" data-id=\"b699b63\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12bef34 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"12bef34\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>There has been an appreciation in the US dollar versus the yen since the bottom of the COVID-19 pandemic, first as a safe haven alongside the yen, then as a reflation trade as the USA pushed everything behind the development of vaccines and the subsequent rollout to economic reopening. This led to the states reopening faster than Japan and the economy recovering quicker. Japan&#8217;s problems with vaccinations and lockdowns during the Olympics have been a huge drag on its economy and the yen has fallen.<\/p><p>The USD2trn Build Back Better bill proposed by Joe Biden has also contributed to the strength of the US dollar. This bill is now in trouble with Senator Joe Manchin withdrawing his support. On a promise from Biden that Manchin would support at least a $1.75trn Build Back Better bill, Progressives in the House voted for the $550bln infrastructure package earlier this year. According to the White House, Manchin&#8217;s move is an &#8220;inexplicable reversal&#8221;.
