USD/TJS Price & Performance (USDTJS)

President Trump has announced a 25% tariff on all non-U.S.-made cars, effective April 2, aiming to reduce national debt. Global reactions include strong opposition from Canada and Japan, citing potential economic harm. The tariffs could also affect the U.S. economy, with inflationary concerns and strained international relations.1

Fidelity Investments is preparing to launch its own stablecoin, entering direct competition with USDT and USDC. The stablecoin, pegged to the U.S. dollar and backed by Treasury bonds, is part of a broader strategy to integrate digital assets into traditional finance. Testing is in advanced stages, signaling major industry shifts.23

The USDJPY reached a three-week high near 151.00, driven by a mix of U.S. tariff announcements and Japan's economic concerns. While U.S. tariffs on autos could pressure global trade, Japan's wage growth expectations and cautious monetary policy contribute to market volatility. Investors remain watchful of inflationary risks.45
