Quick Glance: Market Volatility in Asia: Impact of Meta's Losses
  • The depreciation of Asian currencies against the U.S. dollar and potential actions by monetary authorities are at the forefront of Asian markets.

  • Post-market gains from U.S. tech giant Meta could impact Asian markets as shares dropped by 10% after trading hours.

  • Concerns surrounding currencies are escalating as the dollar breached 155.00 yen on Wednesday without any indication of intervention from Japanese authorities. Will Tokyo take action?

  • Given the current environment that led to a rare joint statement on exchange rates from the United States, Japan, and South Korea this month, no possibilities can be ruled out.
