<p>The Japanese yen, paired with the US dollar, has momentarily halted its devaluation. The current USD/JPY exchange rate stands at 146.47.</p>

<p>The US dollar's robust position on the global stage, fueled by the Federal Reserve's inclination towards further <a href="https://blog.roboforex.com/blog/2019/10/22/trading-news-how-to-earn-on-interest-rates/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="90" title="Interest rate">interest rate</a> hikes, continues to put pressure on the JPY. In contrast to the Fed's approach, the Bank of Japan maintains a conservative stance, keeping its interest rate in negative territory. The yen's persistent decline is largely attributed to this interest rate differential.</p>

<p>Today, it was announced that the Japanese government is contemplating a comprehensive economic stimulus package to be rolled out in September. This package includes previously announced subsidies for fuel and a range of essential goods.</p>

<p>While this move could potentially be pro-inflationary, the lack of detailed information makes it challenging to analyze at this point.</p>

<p>Should key US economic data, slated for release later this week, leave room for the Federal Reserve to consider further interest rate hikes, the yen may resume its decline.</p>
