Yen continues to weaken after Bank of Japan decides not to raise interest rates | NHK | Finance

In the Tokyo foreign exchange market on the 19th, the Bank of Japan decided not to raise interest rates at its monetary policy meeting, leading to a trend of selling yen and buying dollars, with the yen temporarily dropping to the 155 yen range per dollar for the first time in about a month. The Bank of Japan held a two-day monetary policy meeting until the 19th and decided to postpone any further interest rate hikes. In response to this, in the Tokyo foreign exchange market, there was a trend to sell yen and buy dollars due to the observation that the interest rate gap between Japan and the United States was unlikely to narrow, and the yen temporarily fell to the 155 yen to the dollar range for the first time in about a month.

Japanese people’s assets are steadily being destroyed!
What are they doing, Bank of Japan! Government!
If this isn’t a sudden change, then what is it?
If we leave it alone, domestic assets will flow overseas at an accelerating rate!

The Bank of Japan is truly incompetent.

The world of a weak yen has taken root. We’ve fallen into disrepair.

If you have nothing to do, go home.

It’s a strict policy to weaken the yen.
12Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 19, 2024 (Thu) 12:30:14.33ID:vtj6NEvt0
It costs 200 yen.

Hurry up and raise interest rates.
14Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 19, 2024 (Thu) 12:30:24.43ID:20u3RppM0
Of course, it would be foolish to raise interest rates in the current situation.
15Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 19, 2024 (Thu) 12:30:38.03ID:WrsZxFKP0
It’s confirmed that we’ll be getting even more messed up by foreigners coming to Japan in the future.

The amount of Christmas presents and cake I got for my kids was 1.5 times what it was last year.

The beginning of the end.

Takuro Morinaga: “Trump’s strong yen will push the exchange rate to 70 yen to the dollar.”

I’m shocked when Ueda shows up, what’s up with this guy?
23Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 19, 2024 (Thu) 12:31:56.26ID:DPIsYnOP0
The Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Japan are shit. The fault lies with the Komeito Party’s stooges that nest within the Liberal Democratic Party.
27Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 19, 2024 (Thu) 12:32:44.37ID:Wm86Rosq0

So the Komeito Party is not shit.

Wow, how much weaker will the yen get? Prices are going to be extremely high.

Heading straight for the Zimbabwean dollar against the yen.

So it’s Zimbabwean yen.

You guys are criticizing Ueda, but you also criticized the Bank of Japan when Kuroda was in charge before him, and when Shirakawa was in charge before Kuroda, right? Lol.

Favoring the rich who own stocks over ordinary people. This will widen the gap between rich and poor and worsen public safety.
32Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 19, 2024 (Thu) 12:33:25.98ID:4KCj9pBB0
Well, I guess we can’t give it in the current situation. There are too many Japanese people with low intellectual levels.

No matter how you look at it, it seems unlikely that the prices of rice and food will rise by more than 2%.
36Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 19, 2024 (Thu) 12:34:42.25ID:KXzS7Aw20
Abe and Kuroda’s legacy is amazing! Even if I have a NISA, it’s really just a defense of my assets, and because of the weak yen, the US and SP500 are at high prices lol help me (´;ω;`).
37Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 19, 2024 (Thu) 12:34:46.94ID:bnruZjr30
This would be about 200 yen for gas.

It’s over.

This was the beginning of a global depression that would not just lead to interest rate hikes.
40Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 19, 2024 (Thu) 12:35:12.41ID:2U5V7T7t0
It depends on whether interest rates can be raised next month and how many executive orders Trump will issue.
42Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 19, 2024 (Thu) 12:35:24.90ID:xHKCFFwk0
It’s because the government won’t increase subsidies. It doesn’t even need subsidies, half of the workers should be civil servants. There’s no need to make a profit from water, electricity, or food.
46Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 19, 2024 (Thu) 12:36:06.74ID:2kClVN6G0
If interest rates were to be raised now, something worse than the Ueda shock in the summer would occur.

Is the Bank of Japan a group of amateurs?
59Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 19, 2024 (Thu) 12:38:03.36ID:t4JfXQOv0
Real interest rates are over minus 2% and the people are getting poorer and poorer.
71Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 19, 2024 (Thu) 12:39:23.83ID:HNMBA3LA0
Looks like it’ll go up to 160 yen again.
