All Japan needs is a sputnik moment. Fixes the economy in a snap. Heard it on TV.

Well, Japan has been desperately looking for a way to lower the value of the yen... as to make their products more competitive in the global market - and to boost their employment numbers.

Maybe this is a blessing in disguise for them?

I believe the reporter needs to tone down the rhetoric.

The yen HAS NOT moved sharply lower.

The yen/dollar exchange closed at 121.27 yesterday and today it is trading at 120.46.

I do not believe that change is “sharply lower”.
