This Week: Will USDJPY hit new 5-month high above 158?

Bloomberg's FX model predicts a near-75% chance that USDJPY will trade between 154.41 and 158.17. If Japan's data dump coming Friday sends USDJPY shooting upwards, Japanese authorities may feel compelled to quell further sudden bursts of JPY weakness, as they did last Friday (Dec. 20th).
