USD/JPY Climbs With Trump Backing: What Are the Top Implications for Traders?

The USDJPY pair has surged to a 14-week peak, touching 153.83 as demand for the US Dollar strengthens with the unfolding US presidential election. This rally aligns with increasing support for Donald Trump, whose victory in critical states has fuelled investor optimism.
 
This week, US political developments are poised to dominate market attention, with the outcome still pending in several swing states.
 
In Japan, the recent Bank of Japan (BoJ) meeting minutes indicate a consensus among board members to persist with interest rate hikes, aligning with their inflation and economic objectives. Despite this, there is no immediate expectation for a rate increase until at least January 2025, reflecting the prevailing global economic uncertainties and market volatility.
 
Currently, the Japanese yen is not favoured as a safe-haven asset, with the market focus sharply pivoting towards the US dollar.
