USD/JPY falls to 155.5, down 0.5% from previous close

A 0.5% drop in USD/JPY may seem modest, but at the 155 level, it signals renewed pressure on the yen's weakness narrative. This matters for global carry trades and Japanese import costs, and any sustained move could force a reaction from policymakers. The open question is whether this is a temporary correction or the start of a broader trend reversal, especially with volatility cited as the driver.
