Chako: Hey Log, I heard the yen has dropped to the 150 range recently! What’s going on?
Log: It means the yen is depreciating. This is the lowest it’s been in about two months, and it seems the results of the presidential election are having an impact.
Chako: I see! What kind of effects does a weaker yen have?
Log: While it makes exports more favorable, it also means that imported goods become more expensive, which can affect prices.
Navi: A weaker yen can lead to higher prices for imported goods, potentially increasing living costs.
Chako: That might mean snack prices go up too!
Log: Exactly, especially for imported food and energy prices; they’ll likely be more sensitive to the changes.
