Intervention at 159.00: Japanese officials are actively intervening in the currency market at the 159.00 level for USD/JPY, which previously saw a significant drop from 159.22 to 157.32 due to this intervention.
BoJ's Decision Impact: The Bank of Japan maintained unchanged interest rates and slightly improved growth and inflation forecasts, leading to renewed bearish pressure on the yen during Governor Ueda's press conference.
Market Sentiment: Governor Ueda's comments were less hawkish than anticipated, contributing to ongoing weakness in the yen as market sentiment remains negative.
Long-term Trends: While interventions can provide short-term relief for the yen, they do not alter the underlying trend, and the currency is likely to continue facing selling pressure due to unfavorable fundamentals.
