After the yen fell below 160, intervention expectations heated up! Japanese Finance Minister said, "Bold action is imminent."

According to the Smart Financial News APP, as various central banks postpone interest rate adjustments and tensions in the Middle East push up oil prices, investors increasingly believe that official market intervention has become the only leverage to contain the yen's decline in the short term. Japan's finance minister has also clearly stated that the timing for bold intervention measures is "approaching". The yen continued its decline on Thursday, reaching its weakest level since mid-2024 after the Federal Reserve policy meeting. During the Asian session, the yen fell further, with previous reports stating that US President Trump will receive a briefing on new military options for Iran.
