The Japanese yen remains pinned near 40-year lows while the U.S. dollar edges higher. Hedge funds have turned more negative on the currency than at any point since 2007, and Goldman has revised its forecast to 165 yen per dollar.

Coverage from Bloomberg, Reuters, CNBC, and Yahoo Finance emphasizes the mounting risk of Bank of Japan intervention. Reports from Bloomberg also highlight a former Japanese currency czar's view that the yen is undervalued by up to 20%.

Market participants are monitoring the potential for Bank of Japan action to halt the slide. According to Fortune, some economists suggest efforts to stop the decline are doomed to fail as debt issues affect currency markets.
