Yen weakens to upper 141 zone against U.S. dollar in new 24-year low
The Japanese yen weakened to the upper 141 zone against the dollar for the first time in 24 years Tuesday afternoon in Tokyo, as investors bought the U.S. currency on persistent expectations of higher interest rates in the world's largest economy.
日元加速贬值的触发因素是澳大利亚联储宣布将利率提高50个基点,以及暗示该央行仍未完成其货币紧缩周期。日本继续与全球主要央行的紧缩趋势反向而行。投机投资者猜测欧洲央行现在更有可能在周四进一步收紧政策。越来越多人认为日本央行与世界其他央行的政策分歧将进一步加大,这增加了做空日元的吸引力。
