Yen Slide Stalls Near 160 Per Dollar as Traders Brace for Fresh Intervention

160 has become a line traders are reluctant to cross, with intervention risk from Japanese authorities curbing further selling of the currency.
That pause leaves the yen hovering near a psychologically important threshold, showing official action still shapes trading even after the April support operation.
