Japanese yen hits fresh 34-year low despite verbal intervention from authorities
cnbc.com/2024/04/25/japanese-yen-hits-fresh-34-year-low-despite-verbal-intervention-from-authorities-.html
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.
