Why the Yen Depreciated against the Dollar

Why the Yen Depreciated against the Dollar

The Japanese yen (FXY) closed the week at 110.67—compared to the US dollar (UUP) for the week ending June 15. A hawkish FOMC statement and the Bank of Japan’s uneventful policy meeting caused the yen to depreciate. The Bank of Japan chose to leave its ultra-loose monetary policy unchanged and presented a gloomy view of the economy at its May monetary policy meeting, which led to more losses for the Japanese currency.
