USD/JPY fell to 159.0 and was last quoted at 158.890, marking a 3.0% decline over the past 24 hours, according to Gate data cited by Odaily. The update was published as a 7x24 newsflash. No additional market context or drivers were provided in the source. The report only included the quoted level, the latest price, and the 24-hour percentage change.

According to Jin10, Hirofumi Suzuki, chief FX strategist at Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp., said the Federal Reserve’s rate decision and remarks from Fed Chair Waller could push USD/JPY to the 164 level. He said that if the pair reaches that point, the likelihood of foreign-exchange intervention would rise notably because Japanese financial authorities have already stepped up their warnings. Suzuki also said continued yen weakness after the Bank of Japan’s monetary policy meeting on Friday could become a trigger for intervention. The comments center on the exchange-rate outlook and the risk of official action if pressure on the yen persists.

Ahead of the July FOMC decision, a clear gap opened between economist forecasts and market pricing. A Reuters poll dated July 21 showed all 104 economists surveyed expected the Federal Reserve to leave its target range unchanged at 3.50%–3.75%, and 78 of them saw no change through year-end. Yet fed funds futures at one point implied roughly a 30% chance of a 25-basis-point increase. The debate is centered less on whether the Fed acts immediately and more on how Chair Kevin Warsh, who took office on May 22, might respond to an oil-price shock tied to Middle East tensions. If policymakers treat the move in oil as a temporary supply disturbance, rates are more likely to stay on hold. If they worry about broader second-round inflation effects, traders could read even a hold as leaving September firmly in play. That matters across markets. The article points to the U.S. dollar, USDJPY, WTI and Brent crude, gold, U.S. equities, Bitcoin and other crypto assets as the main instruments tied to the repricing. The immediate issue is not only the July rate outcome, but whether markets begin to accept a higher-for-longer path under a new Fed chair whose communication style has not yet been fully priced in.

The U.S. dollar climbed above 163 yen on Tuesday, pushing the Japanese currency to its weakest level since 1986 even after Japanese authorities spent 11.73 trillion yen, or about $71.9 billion, to support it between April 28 and May 27. The move has put fresh attention on whether Tokyo will intervene again, with the market now watching 165 as a potential new line in the sand after 162 gave way. Japan’s dilemma has become sharper: allowing further yen weakness risks feeding consumer prices, while direct intervention has so far shown limited effect. Market data in the report showed the exchange rate at 163.24 yen per dollar, while the U.S. dollar index rose 0.2% to 101.173. The report also cited higher oil prices linked to renewed U.S.-Iran tensions and rising U.S. Treasury yields as factors adding support to the dollar. Analysts from Nomura and Bloomberg Markets Live said Japan’s room to respond is narrowing as energy prices stay high and global bond yields keep rising. BofA Securities also warned that, without action from authorities, the yen could weaken toward 170.

JUST has published its Q2 2026 quarterly report, outlining key updates across protocol operations, treasury management, and ecosystem development over the past quarter. The report said JST’s fourth buyback-and-burn program has been completed, bringing the cumulative amount burned to 17.29% of the token’s total supply. It also said regular buyback burns in Q2 were carried out alongside a newly added USDJ stability fee burn program. According to the update, funding sources for buyback burns have continued to expand, a move the project said strengthens the long-term sustainability of the mechanism. The report added that business lines across the JUST ecosystem maintained steady growth during the quarter. JUST also said JustLend DAO will keep using quarterly reports to improve governance transparency and reinforce community trust.

JustLend DAO has carried out its fourth JST token buyback-and-burn plan under a burn proposal formally approved by the community. A total of 355,021,530.97 JST was removed in this round. The amount includes 248,357,799 JST tied to the second-quarter 2026 buyback and burn, along with about 106,663,731.97 JST from the accumulated historical stability fees of USDJ. According to the source, the JST deflation mechanism continues to move forward through a structure backed by real protocol revenue and executed transparently on-chain. The latest burn reduced JST’s circulating supply in the market and reflects the community’s continued support for the token’s economic model.
