Yen’s Wild Ride: Prices Are All HILARIOUS!
Hey there, forex fan! Ever wondered how a currency can swing like a yo‑yo? The yen has been doing just that since April 26, thanks to some Japanese meddling.
Big Numbers, Big Talk
- 931 pips against the euro
- 937 pips against the dollar
- Over 1,055 pips against sterling
Fast forward to March, these numbers were roughly half the size. So yeah, the yen has doubled its drama this month.
Trade Volume Gets Crazy
On April 29th, futures volume exploded: 487,124 contracts changed hands, spot price closed at 156.332.
Since the last week of April, that frenzy cooled down to about 138,207 contracts by May 8th.
Will Japan Jump In Again?
Money‑talkers say the yen is still feeling weak. If it heads back toward the 160 mark, Japanese authorities might step in again. That could trigger even more volatility and a fresh spike in trading buzz.
