Yen weakens near 159 amid global tensions and rate uncertainty

The Japanese yen fell toward 159.3 per dollar, as verbal intervention from Satsuki Katayama failed to halt its decline, despite assurances that authorities are ready to act.

Investors now await clearer policy signals, with markets sensitive to any escalation in the Middle East and shifts in energy prices.
