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.
