Yen traders are on high alert ahead of the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) upcoming policy meeting, scheduled for September 18. The market is anticipating a rate hike, with some traders pricing in a larger increase than previously expected.

The yen has been gaining ground as traders factor in the potential rate hike, reaching as high as 157.99 on Thursday and rallying 1.2% during New York hours on Wednesday.

A three-day holiday following the policy decision could provide authorities with an opportunity to intervene in thinner trading conditions, leaving market participants bracing for possible action.
