The Japanese government continues to reaffirm that Takaichi&#8217;s fiscal policy approach remains the right way to go. However, that hasn&#8217;t quite been reflected by the economic situation and market confidence since last year already.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The US-Iran war definitely doesn&#8217;t help in that regard and more so with the BOJ also raising interest rates at a time when Japan&#8217;s fiscal position and debt risks are mounting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">USD\/JPY is down 0.1% to 162.35 on the day but continues to sit higher on the week, following last Thursday&#8217;s sharp drop.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">As much as the dollar might be struggling, the yen&#8217;s plight looks to be even worse. As such, the path of least resistance remains for a move higher in USD\/JPY. The only key risk to be wary about is intervention fears, with Japan&#8217;s ministry of finance watching over things rather closely now. That especially with the currency pair trading around its highest level in 40 years now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p>                            This article was written by fl9bde53b91e184082bbe3aa3acaaf2cb0 at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Government is watching markets with very high sense of urgency Long-term interest rates are decided by markets based on various factors Want to secure market trust by stably lowering government debt-to-GDP ratio&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":216,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-433394","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/433394","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/216"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=433394"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/433394\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=433394"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=433394"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=433394"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
