The dollar-yen exchange rate broke through the 160 yen level on the 13th, reaching 160.023 yen at 1:41 a.m. and trading at 159.81 yen by 3:15 a.m., up 0.1% from 24 hours earlier, according to Gate quotes cited by Odaily. The intraday high stood at 160.04 yen, while the Bank of Japan's reference rates were 159.75–159.77 yen at 9 a.m. on the 12th and 159.70–159.71 yen at 5 p.m., with the day's trading range topping out at 159.93 yen. The move matters because a higher dollar-yen rate means more yen are needed to buy one dollar, a threshold traders closely watch for signs of Japanese currency weakness.
