The Japanese yen has declined once more, falling to a level of 160 yen per US dollar in Tokyo's foreign exchange market on June 3rd.
This follows a prior low of 160.7 yen per dollar recorded on April 30th. In response to the yen's persistent depreciation, Japanese authorities, including the government and the central bank, executed market intervention at that time, buying yen and selling US dollars.
Further intervention was also conducted during Japan's Golden Week holiday period in May.
These actions initially propelled the yen's value to a range around 155 yen per dollar. However, the currency has recently resumed its weakening trend.
