Zhitong Finance APP has learned that following the rare joint intervention in the foreign exchange market by Japan and the United States, market expectations for the long-term trend of the yen are changing. Stephen Jen, CEO of asset management firm Eurizon SLJ Capital, believes that this joint action may become a "watershed" moment for the yen market, and the dollar-yen exchange rate has likely peaked, significantly reducing the possibility of the yen falling back to the more than 40-year low it previously reached.
