Trader consensus on Polymarket reflects a 99.5% implied probability for USD/JPY to close higher on March 18 compared to the March 15 settlement, fueled by the widest U.S.-Japan interest rate gap in decades—Fed funds at 5.33% versus BoJ's negative 0.1%—bolstering USD strength amid delayed Fed rate cuts and sticky U.S. inflation. Intraday gains past 150.20 underscore bullish momentum from yen carry trade positioning ahead of the BoJ's March 19 meeting, where a gradual normalization is fully priced in. Tail risks include surprise Japanese FX intervention or a sharp equity selloff triggering safe-haven JPY flows, though low volatility and thin liquidity late in the Tokyo-NY overlap limit reversal odds.
