Japanese yen weakens significantly
The Japanese yen has significantly declined this week, recording its biggest weekly loss in three months, falling by 1% to 159.43 against the dollar after the impact of US-Japanese government intervention in July and August faded. The yen had been hurt by approaching the 164 level against the dollar before the intervention, and it is expected to continue its decline toward the 160 level, which could prompt the government to undertake new official purchases. Additionally, the yen experienced its largest loss against the euro since April. The currency markets are experiencing volatility amid ongoing expectations of fluctuations due to other factors such as rising oil prices and tensions in the Middle East, with other currencies like the euro and the British pound remaining relatively stable against the dollar.
