Investors price in further ECB tightening and a potential BoJ rate hike in September, lifting the pair by 0.15%.
The Euro rose 0.15% against the Japanese Yen to trade near 184.15 on Friday, reflecting growing bets on divergent monetary policies. Markets anticipate the European Central Bank will maintain a hawkish stance, while the Bank of Japan may raise rates as soon as September.
The pair held firm despite expectations of a BoJ shift, contrasting with recent speculation about Japan’s first rate hike in years. Prior sessions saw EUR/JPY fluctuate around 183.50, with traders balancing ECB tightening signals against yen strength.
