Yen Drops 2% Against Dollar to 155.56

The immediate focus is whether Japanese authorities step in to stabilize the currency, as intervention chatter tends to grow after such outsized moves. For market participants, the broader question is whether this signals a new trend in dollar-yen or just a volatile correction within an uncertain global rate environment.
