US-Japan yield gap and outflows pressure yen
"The yen fell 0.5% to 158.91 per dollar, its weakest since July 2024, as speculation that Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi may call a snap election triggered renewed selling. The move surpassed January’s low of 158.87 and intensified concerns over potential intervention, with Japanese officials warning against excessive and speculative FX moves."
"Persistent US-Japan yield gaps, negative real rates, and capital outflows continue to weigh on the currency, with a potential slide above 160 USD/JPY. Intervention risk remains in focus after past actions when volatility spiked."
