# USD JPY breaks out to new highs as dollar surges and safe havens suffer

> USD/JPY broke to new highs on Wednesday after OPEC agreed to cut output by over a million barrels per day to 32.5 million barrels per day. Crude rose more than 8% on the deal, and the dollar extended its post-election rally on higher bond yields and Fed rate hike expectations.
