JPY softens ahead of BoJ policy decision – Scotiabank

2025/12/13 01:04

The Japanese Yen (JPY) is slightly weaker versus the US Dollar (USD), underperforming most G10 currencies, as markets await next week’s BoJ meeting where a 25bps rate hike is widely expected. Policymakers signal the potential for further tightening in 2026, keeping USD/JPY range-bound between 154 and 157, Scotiabank’s Chief FX Strategists Shaun Osborne and Eric Theoret report.

USD/JPY stays range-bound amid hawkish BoJ signals

“The yen is entering Friday’s NA session with a 0.2% decline vs. the USD and underperformance against all of the G10 currencies with the exception of the Skandies SEK and NOK.”

“Reports of a constructive, hawkish shift at the BoJ have failed to deliver strength—so far—with media suggesting that policymakers are expecting an extension of the tightening cycle beyond 0.75%. Next week’s BoJ policy decision is widely expected to deliver a 25bpt hike, to 0.75%, and policymakers appear to be paving the way for further tightening in 2026.”

“We are neutral USD/JPY awaiting a break of the recent range bound between the mid-154 and upper-157 areas.”

‘Justice for Celeste’ tokens spark outrage: Tribute or exploitation?

The post ‘Justice for Celeste’ tokens spark outrage: Tribute or exploitation? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez has gripped social media after her decomposed body was discovered in the trunk of singer D4vd’s car. Screenshots circulating online allege the artist had been grooming her since she was 12, causing widespread outrage and calls for justice. As police continue investigating and have yet to confirm the case as homicide, the crypto world hit a new low. Source: DexScreener Dozens of “Justice for Celeste” memecoins have appeared on decentralized exchanges, with some climbing to nearly $1 million in market cap and millions in daily trading volume. The top token crossed a $432K market cap at press time, with over $3 million in 24-hour volume, surging 348% despite dropping 16% in the last hour. Other versions had market caps ranging from $340K to $463K, though some experienced sharp intraday losses exceeding 24%.  One newer variant surged 615% in a single day, backed by $275K in trading volume, while another recorded a staggering $1.7 million in trades within just 33 minutes of its launch. Is it really the thought that counts? Not everyone sees these tokens as a tribute, and rightly so. After news spread that one CELESTE team had tracked down the victim’s mother in Mexico to arrange donations, social media reactions turned sharply divided. Supporters framed it as a genuine way to provide financial help, while critics accused the project of doxxing and exploiting grief for profit.
