The U.S. dollar tested new lows against the Japanese yen, prompting fresh technical analysis on major currency pairs including EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/CAD, and USD/JPY as forex markets react to shifting rate expectations. The move has drawn attention from currency strategists watching for further downside in the greenback. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent added to the currency debate with a pointed remark—'I am the house now'—made during a speech at Southern Methodist University, seen by market watchers as one of his most assertive comments yet on U.S. financial dominance. Analysts said the remark carries implications for the yen's trajectory and for U.S. equities, feeding into broader speculation about Washington's stance on currency intervention and dollar policy.
