Yen hits 6-month high at ¥154.04; intervention watch intensifies
Financial Times·JP · US · GB·1 day ago
The Japanese yen has strengthened sharply, breaking the 155 level against the US dollar, marking its strongest appreciation in months. The move suggests a significant shift in currency markets, likely driven by expectations of Bank of Japan policy tightening or unwinding of carry trades. This development matters as it could signal broader risk-off sentiment or a repricing of global yield differentials.
