Yen Stubbornly Weak as Interventions and BOJ Hike Offer Limited Relief
TL;DR Summary
Despite a large FX intervention and a BOJ rate hike, the yen remains near 160 per dollar due to a wide US–Japan rate gap, persistent carry trades, and reflationary politics; near-term intervention is likely, but longer-term factors like energy costs and capital inflows could eventually support the currency.
