Top News
Yen sharply declines, Finance Minister's ambiguous stance brings peace of mind to 'tolerated' selling by the Bank of Japan.
In the Tokyo foreign exchange market on the 14th, the yen exchange rate plummeted, sinking to the late 150-yen range against the US dollar for the first time since November 2023. Dollar buying spread as the January US Consumer Price Index (CPI) announced on the 13th exceeded market expectations, gradually increasing vigilance towards Japan's government intervention in yen purchases. However, the recent rapid depreciation of the yen was initially triggered by the Bank of Japan's information dissemination that could be interpreted as 'acceptance of a weaker yen'.
