  1. And this is with trump’s stunt with Powell, just show how weak the yen is.

    Just look at the breaches against the yen.

    British pound: 214

    Euro: 185

    Swiss franc: 199

    Singapore Dollar: 123

  2. Come on Japan! Exchanging 50,000 yen a month to pay 300 dollars on my student loans is killing me here on my ALT salary.

  3. Really weird to read “drop” when the number goes up. They should likely use different format (like 1/158) for the exchange rate if they want to say its dropping.
