The Japanese yen has weakened back to around 159 per dollar after briefly strengthening post a rare US-Japan currency intervention. The intervention slowed speculative trading but failed to change fundamental factors like the wide yield gap between US and Japanese bonds, which encourages investors to favor the dollar. The Bank of Japan's cautious monetary policy and Japan's lower interest rates continue to pressure the yen. Market watchers expect the yen's recovery to depend on BOJ rate hikes and increased domestic investment rather than intervention alone, with the 160 level seen as a key political threshold that could trigger further action.
