The yen strengthened sharply as markets increased their expectations for Bank of Japan rate hikes… but higher energy prices later weighed on the currency. The euro gave back some gains as rising energy prices and US Treasury yields supported the US dollar. The ECB’s 25-basis-point hike had little impact on the euro. The Bank of England is likely to adopt a slightly more hawkish tone next week. A near-term rate hike remains unlikely, but risks are rising. The UK government is expected to use targeted tax increases to address fiscal pressures while avoiding major spending cuts. We expect EUR/GBP to rise modestly and GBP/USD to remain slightly stronger, with end-2026 forecasts unchanged at 0.86 and 1.36, respectively.
