-- 根據《日經新聞》週四引述一位政府官員的話報道，在日圓兌美元匯率跌至160日圓左右後，日本政府出手幹預外匯市場以支撐日圓。 此舉後，日圓匯率回升至155日圓左右。報道稱，日本財務大臣片山五月先前曾警告稱，當局即將採取行動應對日圓過度疲軟。 報道稱，這是自2024年7月以來日本首次幹預外匯市場。當時，日圓匯率跌至數十年來的最低點，日本在兩天內動用了約5.53兆日圓。 報告稱，由於油價上漲和對貿易逆差擴大的預期，日圓拋售加劇；而美元走強，加上美國利率保持穩定，也增加了日圓的壓力。 （市場動態新聞來自與全球市場專業人士的對話。這些資訊被認為是來自可靠來源，但可能包含傳聞和猜測。準確性無法保證。）
