Yen Tumbles to 24-Year Low, Prompting a BOJ Warning

The Japanese yen has reached its lowest level since 1998, causing concern for the Bank of Japan. The weak yen negatively impacts the economy, making business planning difficult. The Bank of Japan plans to collaborate with the government to mitigate these effects. However, it's unclear what actions the Bank can take, as the yen's weakness is largely due to global interest rate disparities, particularly with the U.S. Federal Reserve. An upcoming policy meeting may address these issues, but market consensus suggests limited immediate options for the Bank of Japan.
