Japan's Yen Surge: Intervention or Market Move?

from The Daily News Now! Business

Japans yen surges to a ten-week high, fueling speculation of intervention to prevent it from reaching 160 yen per dollar. The Japanese government has already spent around $34.5 billion buying yen and could potentially intervene 30 more times, but is limited to two more three-day sessions by November due to IMF rules. The new defense line is around 157 yen, with speculators and officials closely watching the dollar-yen exchange rate. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
