  "account": "The Japanese Yen has been steadily recovering after a record 8.45 trillion Yen intervention in a single session, followed by an additional 5.3 trillion Yen in coordination with the US Treasury. This aggressive defence of the currency cost the dollar nearly three quarters of a Yen, with the Yen eventually rebounding from just under 164.00 to above 155.00. Since then, the Yen has been slowly climbing back up, reflecting the substantial efforts made to support it. The flow of foreign investments into Japanese assets, including over 5 trillion Yen of foreign equities and long-term bonds, played a crucial role in this recovery. The BoJ's ultra-loose monetary policy and the widening yield gap with the US Federal Reserve contributed to the Yen's depreciation, but the ongoing inflation data and upcoming economic releases from the US could potentially put pressure on the Yen again. For now, the bullish sentiment prevails as long as the 200-day EMA holds.",
  "summary": "Dollar-Yen holds near 159.00 into the North American afternoon, marginally higher on the day inside a range of roughly three quarters of a Yen between the 158.50 area and a high short of 159.50.",
