Amid a persistent interest-rate differential between the U.S. (5.50%) and Japan (0.10%), the Japanese yen has just chalked a 38-year low against the U.S. dollar, with the USD/JPY advancing to levels above the level of 161.00.
Forex traders are watching closely if the Bank of Japan (BOJ) could raise interest rates further based on a stronger economy. The quarterly BOJ Tankan Indexes are good economic indicators.

In the past 4 releases of Bank of Japan Tankan Large Manufacturers Index, within one hour from the event, USD/JPY rose in 75% of times (3 out of 4 releases), and marked a trading range of 20.68 pips on average.
