Yen Falls About 2% This Week; USD/JPY Ends at 156.67
AI take
The yen's slide was broad, not just a dollar story: the euro and sterling both gained over 1% against it, and the offshore yuan advanced more than 2%. That the weekly range spanned roughly 4.7 yen points signals two-way volatility rather than a one-way grind, with the close near the top of the range. For RWA and crypto markets, a weaker yen matters mostly through carry and hedging flows, since yen-funded positions are a known source of global risk appetite. Whether the yen stabilizes or the move extends is the open question.
