The Bank of Japan (BOJ) and the Finance Ministry have signaled a more proactive and united approach to addressing the yen's weakness. This comes amid increasing concerns about the negative impact of the weak yen on wage hikes and economic stability. The potential for an earlier BOJ rate hike has risen due to hawkish signals, according to Nikkei. Japan's exports experienced year-on-year growth of 8.3% in April, though this fell short of the forecasted 11% but surpassed the previous rate of 7.3%. Exports to the US saw an 8.8% increase, indicating positive bilateral trade relations. However, Japan logged a $3 billion trade deficit in April as imports rebounded by 8.3%, driven by the weak yen. Exports grew for the fifth consecutive month, led by cars and chips. Business confidence remains weighed down by the weak yen and price pressures.
