Japanese Yen exchange rate today April 19, 2025: Yen weakens

After the first meeting on tariff negotiations between the US and Japan, the news that the two sides did not discuss the exchange rate issue caused the Yen to temporarily weaken. The Japanese Yen exchange rate rose to 141 JPY/USD at one point, then continued to decline and reached 142.5 JPY/USD, then surpassed 143 JPY/USD as Yen selling and USD buying pressure spread in the market.

Japan’s economic minister, Mr. Akazawa, said the meeting did not discuss exchange rates. However, the market is still worried that the US could pressure Japan to strengthen the yen. Former President Trump has criticized Japan for its weak yen and said the yen should be stronger. Mr. Trump’s attendance at the meeting also added to those concerns.

The exchange rate issue may be discussed further between the Japanese and US Finance Ministers at the G20 meeting taking place from April 22. Currently, the exchange rate of 140 JPY/USD is considered an important level. If the US continues to ask Japan to adjust the Yen, the exchange rate may fall to 130.

Mr. Akazawa also said that the US wants to reach an agreement within 90 days, so the market will continue to closely monitor the moves from both sides.

In the stock market, Japan's Nikkei index rose 457 points (up 1%) to 34,377 points. The yen's temporary halt in appreciation helped stocks like TDK. However, the rally did not last long as many investors took advantage of the situation to sell to take profits. Some stocks like Nitori and Toyota fell slightly.

According to analysts, there is nothing new in this meeting, so investors are still waiting for more specific results before deciding to invest.
