Yen Intervention Speculation Intensifies as BoJ Rate Hike Expected
Valor Econômico·JP·about 4 hours ago
The yen surged from 159.67 to 158.22 per dollar in a rapid move on Wednesday, sparking speculation of official intervention by Japanese authorities. The move partially retraced to 158.71, and the Ministry of Finance has not confirmed any action. This follows a period of sustained yen weakness, making intervention a plausible but unconfirmed driver.
