This is quite a drop! I'm curious if this is mostly about a stronger yen or if there's significant dollar weakness playing a role too. Does anyone have insights into the main driver?
This move in USDJPY could be a reaction to the latest rhetoric from the Bank of Japan, hinting at a more hawkish stance than anticipated. I'm wondering if we're seeing some unwinding of carry trades as a result, or if there's a specific data point that's driving this accelerated move.
