Nvidia's expanding AI customer base and Dell's hardware demand signals are feeding into a stronger US growth narrative, keeping pressure on the yen as the interest rate differential between the Fed and Bank of Japan stays wide.
This divergence remains the core driver behind USD/JPY's resilience, with investors continuing to favor dollar assets amid signs that corporate America—particularly in AI infrastructure—is accelerating rather than slowing.
Until Japanese policymakers signal a more decisive shift, or US data disappoints, the yen is likely to stay on the defensive, with USD/JPY sentiment tied closely to incoming earnings and macro releases.
