The Japanese yen has experienced fluctuations against the dollar, hitting a two-week low and then a two-week high amid various economic developments. A historic rate hike by the Bank of Japan (BOJ) has failed to significantly bolster the yen, and further action from the BOJ is anticipated to be delayed until the fall, according to a former board member. The dollar, meanwhile, reached a one-week low ahead of US jobs data, indicating a volatile period for currency markets. These movements come as Japan's yen intervention strategy is scrutinized in light of upcoming US data. Notably, the dollar-yen rate fell to a two-week low, down 0.26% at 150.95.
