On July 6, analysts at Société Générale stated in a report that the Japanese government may further intervene to support the yen, but a sustained recovery of the currency requires an improvement in growth prospects. Japan still has approximately $1.3 trillion in foreign exchange reserves available to defend the yen, but the current low growth expectations are likely to limit the currency's gains. However, they noted that the significant rise in the Japanese stock market indicates that the country's economy may be on the verge of improvement. Société Générale predicts that by the end of the year, the USD/JPY exchange rate will drop to 157, and by the second quarter of 2027, it will fall to 154.

On July 6, a recent national poll by the Financial Times revealed that 58% of American voters believe that the economic and strategic costs of the military conflict between the Trump administration and Iran are not worth it. With high inflation and ongoing war expenditures, the Republican Party faces a bleak outlook ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. The vast majority of American voters think that the current military conflict with Iran is a strategic and financial liability, leaving the current administration with a significant political vulnerability. As this poll result emerges, the White House is seeking an additional $670 billion in federal funding from Congress to cover accumulated war costs. Public sentiment reflects deep skepticism about the government's crisis management approach. Only 31% of respondents believe that the series of skirmishes has strengthened America's negotiating position, while 44% stated that this conflict has actually weakened America's leverage against Iran. Throughout the year, this military action has significantly increased domestic consumer goods and gasoline prices.
