USD/JPY is expected to rise toward the mid-¥157 range in the morning outlook. The focus is on US and Japanese monetary policy.
Prepared at 7:50 a.m. on 27 October 2026. This morning's expected USD/JPY range is 156.800–158.000 yen, with the outlook calling for a rise toward the mid-¥157 range.
Looking back at the previous day, USD/JPY rose about 0.4% based on the closing level. It briefly reached the ¥156.60 range in the Tokyo market and the ¥157.60 range in overseas markets. The dollar was reportedly relatively firm as momentum behind euro buying waned. The sustainability of higher stock prices and a stronger dollar is said to depend on US-Japan monetary policy events.
US September durable goods orders and the US October consumer confidence index are scheduled for release in today's New York market. However, USD/JPY is expected to show a limited reaction ahead of the FOMC monetary policy announcement on the 28th.
