Yen Hits Four-Decade Low in Historic Slide

The yen fell to its weakest level against the dollar since 1986, a major FX milestone that raises the risk of official intervention. The move is likely to keep traders on high alert for Japanese authorities entering the market, and it underscores persistent pressure on the currency. The event is significant for FX markets and could affect broader risk sentiment in Japan.
