BREAKING: For the first time since 1990, the Japanese Yen weakens to 160 against the US Dollar. In other words, the conversion rate for 1 US Dollar has gone from 130 Yen to 160 Yen, a massive change for a major currency. This comes as the Bank of Japan kept interest rates near 0% even as their currency is sliding. Last month, the Bank of Japan raised interest rates for the first time since 2007.

Japanese policymakers, like Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki, are wary of the negative impacts of the weak yen on the economy and are closely monitoring the situation. As forex traders navigate this environment, opportunities may arise from volatility, particularly in yen-related currency pairs. N
