Yen squeezed as hawkish turn grips central banks

The yen has weakened against the dollar as global central banks, including those in the US and Australia, adopt more hawkish stances. This means they are preparing to raise interest rates to control inflation, which puts downward pressure on the yen. Japan's low interest rates make its currency less attractive to investors, contributing to the yen's decline. As a result, the yen's value is likely to continue to fall, affecting trade and investment between Japan and other countries.
