# Japanese Yen: On the turn with policy support

> Rabobank says the yen has strengthened recently, with prior official intervention and resistance near USD/JPY 158.70 helping limit further yen weakness. The bank expects stronger wages, possible Bank of Japan rate hikes and improved Japanese government bond demand to support the yen, potentially taking USD/JPY toward 155 over three months.
