Japanese Yen Sinks to 40-Year Low Against US Dollar as Tokyo Intervention Looms

By —

The Japanese yen has dropped to its lowest level against the US dollar in four decades. Markets are now on alert for urgent action by Tokyo to halt the slide.

Yen under pressure

The yen's fall to a 40-year low has put the spotlight on Japanese policymakers. Traders are watching closely for any move to support the currency.

Intervention and rate hikes have not stopped the fall

Japan has already used record intervention to defend the yen. It has also raised interest rates. So far, these measures have failed to stop the currency's decline.

The situation remains tense as investors wait to see whether Tokyo will step in again. Any intervention would be aimed at slowing the yen's rapid depreciation against the dollar.
