Yen Predicted to Weaken to Lowest Since 1986 Amid Rate Disparities Alvin Tan, head of Asia FX strategy at RBC Capital Markets and the top currency forecaster, predicts the yen could weaken to 165 per dollar, a level last seen in 1986. Despite Japan’s potential interventions to support its currency, the significant interest rate gap between Japan and the U.S. continues to drive the yen’s decline. Tan suggests that effective intervention would require coordination with the U.S., as the currency is expected to breach the 160 level and possibly reach 165 amid sustained bearish sentiment. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Golden Surge on the Horizon: UBS Predicts a 10% Leap Amid Rate Cut Speculations READ MORE August Jobs Data: Key to Fed's September Rate Decision READ MORE Currency Made of Actual Gold Hoping to Reach Nevadan’s Wallets READ MORE Gold & Silver Mining Stocks Exposed: Long-Term Reality Revealed READ MORE Can I Buy & Sell Gold Without Paying Taxes?
