EUR/USD Daily Chart
The U.S. Federal Reserve's repeated rate cuts and the narrowing of the U.S.-Japan interest rate differential are now in sight. So, why is the U.S.-Japan interest rate differential so important for the yen’s safe-haven appeal, especially when global economic uncertainty rises?
The Japanese yen failed to create a miracle in 2024, continuing its four-year decline against the US dollar. Does the yen still retain its safe-haven properties? Will the interest rate differential between the US and Japan narrow?
The Federal Reserve has implemented multiple interest rate cuts in 2024, bringing the rate to a range of 4.25%-4.5% by the end of the year. However, whether the Fed will continue cutting rates or shift to rate hikes in 2025 remains uncertain. The Fed's policy direction depends not only on economic data but also on internal adjustments, the policy direction of the new president, and other factors.
