🇯🇵 JUST IN: The Japanese Yen has plunged to 162.27 per U.S. dollar, marking its weakest level since 1986.

📉 The move highlights the growing divergence between:
• Japan’s ultra-loose monetary policy
• and persistently high interest rates in the United States.While the Fed continues maintaining relatively tight financial conditions, the Bank of Japan has been far slower to normalize policy, keeping pressure on the Yen for months.
⚠️ The collapse is becoming increasingly sensitive politically and economically because:
• import costs rise sharply for Japan
• inflation pressure increases domestically
• and confidence in the Yen weakens further.
👀 Markets are now watching whether Japanese authorities could step in again with:
• verbal intervention
• emergency bond operations
• or direct currency intervention to slow the decline. Historically, levels above 160 have often triggered stronger reactions from Tokyo.
