■ Video Overview

In the foreign exchange market after the Golden Week in 2026, nervous price movements continue, with multiple instances of suspected currency intervention being observed. How will the USD/JPY rate move heading into the summer? Four professional analysts belonging to the Gaitame.com Research Institute present their individual outlooks and points of interest.

The main themes explained in this video are as follows:

- USD/JPY exchange rate scenario up to summer 2026

- Currency intervention and its impact on the market

- The impact of the situation in Iran and high crude oil prices on the USD/JPY rate

- The Bank of Japan's interest rate hike outlook, and why the yen is still unlikely to appreciate

- The FRB's policy stance and the possibility of resuming interest rate hikes this year

- Notable issues: Gold (possibility of breaking through $5,000 again)

- Notable currencies: EUR/CHF, CHF/TRY, MXN/JPY

All members agree on the view that "a shift to a significant yen appreciation is hard to imagine." However, they point out that four important variables—vigilance against intervention, Japan-US monetary policies, the situation in Iran, and crude oil prices—will dictate the market, and they explain specific rationales and points of interest from their respective perspectives.
