Yen Slips 0.3% This Week as Dollar Holds Near 158

The yen's weakness is broad rather than dollar-specific: it lost ground against the euro, sterling and offshore yuan in the same session, which points to pressure on the currency itself rather than a single cross. That distinction matters for anyone tracking Japanese asset exposure or yen-funded positions, since it suggests the driver is domestic rather than a dollar story. The open question is whether the pair keeps respecting the week's range or breaks it, given how contained the move has been so far.
