The Japanese Yen slumped close to its lowest levels in decades, with the USD/JPY pair climbing above 163.90 during Thursday's session.
The move was fueled by a strengthening US Dollar after the release of US labor market figures that significantly exceeded expectations. The better-than-forecast data reinforced hawkish sentiment around the Federal Reserve's monetary policy stance, boosting demand for the greenback against the yen.
