      I genuinely dislike the fact that yahoo news splits their articles in multiple incredibly small pages/sections instead of just letting me scroll.

      Their webpage has not been updated in 30 years probably

      They won’t let it happen, they can’t. They’ll keep it at current levels of pain and if the US lowers interest rates again, the Japanese government will go spend more money to try to keep the yen at current levels.

      I don’t think this would happen anytime soon and yen could possibly oscillate between 150-160 in near term but never say never 😂

      仮に高市総理になってからの円の弱さのペースが続けば、最悪の場合、2026年6月には1ドル=200円に、10月には1ドル=250円になってしまうのだ。

      *If the pace of the yen’s depreciation since Takaichi became prime minister continues, the worst case scenario is that the rate could reach 1 dollar = 200 yen by June 2026, and 1 dollar = 250 yen by October.*

      Ludicrous nothing of a statement. An asteroid COULD wipe us out all tomorrow. Nothing but dumb scaremongering engagement bait. The article mentions that the yen has depreciated 1.3% daily since Takaichi took office, which is equivalent to an annual rate of 500%. Yes, assuming it keeps depreciating at exactly the same rate and doesn’t go up or even depreciate at a decelerated rate.

      So, so stupid. The dollar is not reaching 250 yen. It’s just not. You ever read something so manipulative and stupid it just makes you angry?

      The yen will be getting stronger. Despite all the news about the weakening yen and these doomsday forecasts, the USDJPY rate has only changed by 4% since Takaichi took office.

      They are just making Japan less attractive from foreign workers. It’s all part of the plan to reduce the number of foreigners.

      Why are they keep doing this ? Is it because Japan lost export competitive advance compare to the China and planning to re-set their economy ?

      lol I remember when the yen was 250. I also remember when it was 78. Everyone relax.
