The Japanese Yen (JPY) extends its steady intraday descent against its American counterpart, pushing the USD/JPY pair to a fresh weekly top, closer to mid-155.00s heading into the European session on Wednesday. This comes on the back of the previous day's turnaround and supports prospects for a further JPY depreciation on the back of the uncertainty over the timing of another interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan (BoJ).Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda earlier this week warned against keeping borrowing costs too low and signaled another interest rate increase, was vague on the timing and offered no hints about a hike in December.Meanwhile, rebounding US Treasury bond yields revive the US Dollar (USD) and further contribute to driving flows away from the lower-yielding JPY. Apart from this, a generally positive risk tone seems to undermine the safe-haven JPY and suggests that the path of least resistance for the USD/JPY pair is to the upside. That said, intervention fears could limit JPY losses ahead of speeches from influential FOCM members.
