On Friday, the Japanese Yen experienced a sudden spike against the US Dollar, putting traders on high alert for potential intervention by Tokyo to prevent the currency from sliding toward multi-year lows.
The USD/JPY pair fell 0.3% to 158.03, having earlier climbed approximately 0.5%.
The exact catalyst for the move remains unclear, with uncertainty also surrounding whether Japanese authorities have initiated any Yen-buying intervention.
