US-Japan Deal Supports YenUS Dollar/Japanese YenFX:USDJPYChartMageThe yen held firm near 146.5 per dollar, its highest level in two weeks, after President Trump announced a trade agreement with Japan featuring 15% tariffs on exports. Japan, in turn, pledged $550 billion in U.S. investments and increased access for American goods. Prime Minister Ishiba’s lack of details and speculation about his possible resignation add further political uncertainty, especially after the coalition’s upper house defeat. Resistance is at 147.75, with major support at 146.15.
