This significant drop follows a plunge to 160.245 in late April, which triggered an official Japanese currency intervention worth about 9.8 trillion yen ($61.08 billion).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proximity to the quarter-end may also be influencing markets. The Nikkei experienced a three-day run of increasingly strong advances, culminating in Wednesday&#8217;s 1.26% surge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Nikkei-VTMarkets-27June-1-1024x457.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13942\" style=\"width:1450px;height:auto\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Picture: Nikkei currently trading at 39409.15 on the <a href=\"https:\/\/vtmarketsapp.onelink.me\/CD7D\/240525WA\">VT Markets app<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The technical test for the Nikkei now is whether it can reclaim the May 20 high of 39,437 by the end of the week.

Uniqlo parent company Fast Retailing also fell nearly 2%. At the bottom of percentage losers was chip-related firm Screen Holdings, which tumbled 5.7%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, the market remains cautious as traders monitor yen movements and upcoming economic data releases.
