Recently, persistent yen weakness has raised growing concerns over Japan's economic outlook. Goldman Sachs has raised its forecast for the US dollar against the yen over the next 12 months from 155 yen to 165 yen, making it one of the most bearish yen projections, as per a Bloomberg survey. An electronic board displays the current exchange rate of the Japanese yen against the US dollar in Minato Ward, Tokyo, Japan, July 16, 2026. /VCG Japan's economy is now facing a growing disconnect between traditional economic logic and a new structural reality. The long-held belief that a weaker yen automatically benefits exports is no longer necessarily valid. Over the past month, the dollar-yen exchange rate has remained above the 160 level, hovering near historical highs.
