11 Apr 2026 • 00:25 GMT
📊 Forecast snapshot
- Near-term bias: 🔴 Mild downside
- Expected range: 107.9560 – 112.5000
- Dominant driver: 🌍 Global risk sentiment
- 3-month trend: 🔴 Downtrend
Currently, AUD/JPY is trading near 112.5, about 2.6% above its 3-month average and holding within its recent range. The pair is trading close to the mid-range, with risk-off sentiment supported by rising oil prices and Japanese bond sales. Near-term conditions suggest the pair may face downward pressure as risk aversion keeps the JPY supported and Aussie sentiment remains subdued.
💸 Transfer implications
- Expats: sending money to Japan may see less favourable exchange rates if the pair declines.
- Travellers: exchanging AUD for JPY might find prices becoming less advantageous.
- Businesses: paying JPY invoices in AUD could face higher costs if the pair weakens further.
🧭 Key drivers
- Rate gap: The BOJ’s ultra-loose policy continues to support JPY, keeping the yield gap narrow.
- Risk/commodities: Elevated Middle East tensions and oil prices are boosting risk-off flows into JPY.
- Global factors: Rising global risk aversion is increasing demand for safe-haven assets like JPY.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: A further deterioration in global risk sentiment could strengthen JPY.
- Downside risk: A shift toward global risk appetite or policy easing from the BOJ could support the AUD.
BER suggests comparing FX providers to help offset less favourable exchange conditions or find lower margins to reduce transfer costs.
