This Week's Market - April 7, 2026 (Tuesday)
The deadline for negotiations between the United States and Iran is 8:00 PM US Eastern Time on the 7th. We would like to continue paying close attention to how the situation unfolds.
Since last Friday was the Easter holiday, market participants are returning today. We will be watching closely whether safe-haven dollar buying accelerates or whether dollar buying settles down for the time being, particularly regarding the movements of London session market participants today.
USD/JPY has been approaching 160, and while there are factors supporting a rise in USD/JPY such as foreign bond purchases at the start of the new fiscal period, if it breaks above 160, intervention pressure is likely to intensify again, making further upside heavy. However, since there is support around 159.30, we believe there will not be a significant decline as long as this support level holds.
