@bestfxrates : FX analysts note USD to JPY touched 151.5, overshooting 3-month avg. Despite this, Treasury yields may limit further gains. JPY's soft patch could reverse if BoJ shifts hawkish & Fed dovish. Eyes on US-Japan rates, oil volatility & Nikkei's rally for cues on 143-149 range. #Forex #USDJPY #CurrencyMarket

Forecasts for USD to JPY

 

The USD to JPY exchange rate has seen the US dollar strengthening significantly against the Japanese yen, as highlighted by recent market data indicating the USD to JPY at 151.5, which is considerably above its 3-month average of 147.9. This current strength in the US dollar comes as investors have scaled back their anticipations for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, influenced by a robust US jobs report and persistently strong economic performance despite inflationary pressures. Currency analysts observe that the market's outlook may remain bullish for the USD, provided the risk sentiment stays subdued. Furthermore, with the Non-Farm Payrolls report for January vastly surpassing expectations, the prospect of an imminent Fed rate cut has been dampened, prompting FX traders to push back their estimates to a potential rate reduction in June.

How to get a good USD to JPY exchange rate

There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting US dollar to Japanese yen:

  1. Shop around for the best USD/JPY exchange rate: Exchange rates can vary significantly between different currency exchange providers, so it's important to compare rates from different sources before making a conversion.
  2. Timing is important: Keep an eye on the USD/JPY rate on currency markets, as exchange rates can fluctuate frequently. Try to make your transactions when the exchange rate is in your favor. You can do this easily with our BER Smart Rate Tracker.
  3. Use a credit/debit or travel card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees: Some credit cards charge additional fees for transactions made in a foreign currency, so it's important to check with your card issuer to see if they charge these fees and what their exchange rate is.
  4. Use a multi-currency account: Having a multi-currency account allows you to hold and transfer money in both USD and JPY at close to the interbank rate. It also allows you to make payments or withdrawals in the local currency while avoiding high conversion fees.
  5. Buy currency in advance: If you know that you will need foreign currency in the future, consider buying it in advance when the exchange rate is favorable.

The key is reducing excessive costs and fees

Generally speaking, if you are buying Japanese yen with US dollar, then it's better for the USD/JPY exchange rate to be higher.

However working against you are the fees all foreign exchange providers charge for providing their service. These fees is usually contained within the exchange rate margin (or difference to the mid-rate).

The transaction margin you end up being charged can be considerably reduced by around a few percent (of total amount being exchanged) for travel money and possibly over 5% to 6% when sending money. The exact potential savings depends on the currencies being exchanged and the amount you are transferring and if you are willing to shop around.

Our real-time foreign transfer and travel money/cards comparison calculators make shopping around easy and help you calculate how much you can save.

It's worth noting that while these tips can help you save on exchange rates, it's important to be aware that no single method is guaranteed to provide the best exchange rate in every situation, and it may require some research and comparison-shopping to find the best option for your specific needs.

Will the US dollar rise against the Japanese yen?

It is almost impossible to predict what an exchange rate will do in the future, the best approach is to monitor the currency markets and transact when an exchange rate moves in your favour.

To help with this you can add USD/JPY to your personalised Rate Tracker to track and benefit from currency movements.
