Version 0.73 (2024-07-26 23:04:04.928000)
updates: The Japanese yen has reached a 12-week high against the US dollar, driven by carry trade closures and anticipation of the Bank of Japan's policy meeting outcomes. The yen's surge is also influenced by a global stock market downturn and increasing risk sentiment. The Bank of Japan may raise rates, while the Federal Reserve is expected to hold rates steady before potential cuts in September. Safe-haven currencies like the yen and Swiss franc have become more attractive to investors amidst market volatility. Japan's Prime Minister has hinted at the normalization of the Bank of Japan's monetary policy to stimulate economic growth.

Version 0.42 (2024-06-26 16:01:06.340000)
updates: The Japanese yen has fallen to its lowest level since 1986, prompting concerns of possible intervention by the central bank. Japan's Ministry of Finance and Central Bank previously spent $62 billion to stabilize the currency when it fell below 160. However, the yen has already dropped 5% since May. The currency's decline is attributed to sluggish export numbers, rising imports, and a growing trade deficit of $38 billion in the last fiscal year. Japan is currently following a 'hawkish stance' on interest rates, similar to the US Fed. The anticipation of an early stimulus is growing as the country faces a potential currency crisis amid rising debt. The Bank of Japan hinted at a July rate hike, marking a historic pivot from its decade-long policy of negative interest rates. The yen has experienced a currency plunge of over 13% in 2024 and has reached three-decade lows against the US dollar. It is one of the worst-performing currencies of the year.
