The Japanese Yen weakened against the US dollar on Monday, with the USD/JPY pair rising approximately 0.73% to trade around 158.95 yen, according to FX Street.
This movement followed the unexpected announcement of a current account deficit in Japan, which put downward pressure on the yen and supported the dollar's strength.
Investors remain attentive to Japan's external balance as fluctuations in trade and capital flows increasingly influence FX market dynamics amid evolving global economic conditions.
