# Today’s outlook: USD/JPY remains firm, but caution advised on further gains

> USD/JPY held around 158 last week after strong US employment data, but gains were limited by profit-taking and caution about possible Japanese intervention near 159. Markets are watching US inflation releases, while stronger expectations of a December Federal Reserve rate increase and reduced BOJ hike expectations support dollar buying against the yen.
