VOLATILITY ALERT🚨US dollar-yen (USDJPY) returns near to the intervention level. The US dollar-yen is drifting back toward pre-intervention levels, with earlier intervention having failed to reverse the broader trend of dollar strength. Prolonged Middle East peace negotiations continue to pressure the yen, as uncertainty around energy supply keeps Japan's import-cost risks elevated. Japan's April National CPI hovered near a four-year low of 1.4% YoY, with core-core CPI easing to 1.9% YoY, below the BoJ's 2% target, adding uncertainty to June rate-hike expectations. Meanwhile, US inflation rises across broad-based sectors amid elevated energy prices, reinforcing 'higher for longer' concerns and bolstering the dollar against a weakening yen. An early peace deal resuming energy supply could support the yen and drag the pair back from intervention territory.

🚨 JAPAN’S POPULATION SUFFERS RECORD FIVE‑YEAR DECLINE. Japan’s population fell by a record amount over the past five years. New census data shows the country lost about 3 million people, a 2.5% drop since 2020. The total population now stands at roughly 123 million. Officials say the decline comes from low birth rates and an aging society. Births have fallen for ten straight years. Deaths continue to outnumber births, and efforts to boost family growth have had little effect. Most regions saw population losses. Only Tokyo and Okinawa grew slightly. The government faces pressure to support local communities and keep the economy stable as the population shrinks.
