USD/JPY: Upside risks with intervention watch – Societe Generale
Societe Generale analysts highlight that USD/JPY has reclaimed its 50‑DMA and is breaking above its multi‑year range, pointing to further upside toward 162.00 and the 163.20/163.70 channel top. They stress 158.00 as key support and note investors are on intervention after the first weekly close above 160 and warnings of ‘decisive measures’.
Upside trend meets intervention risk
"USD/JPY reclaimed its 50‑DMA earlier this month and is now breaking above the upper end of its multi‑year range, signalling the potential for further upside."
"If a brief pullback occurs, last week’s low near 158 could serve as an important support."
"Defence of this support may lead to persistence of the uptrend."
"The next objectives could be located near the 2024 peak around 162, followed by the upper boundary of an ascending channel at 163.20/163.70."
"Investors are on intervention in USD/JPY following Friday’s close above 160 and the warning by FX diplomat Mimura that ‘decisive measures’ may soon be required."

The impact of AI on the workforce is milder, yet more profound than previously imagined. Barclays' latest research dispels the panic of a "replacement wave"—only about 20% of core professional skills can truly be replicated by AI, but its "amplification effect" permeates almost every corner of every profession. What is more concerning is that the demand for AI skills is spreading from tech positions to management roles, and the rise of physical AI could even make human professional skills a new, scalable form of intellectual property.
