The 200-day pound to yen SMA continued to increase up to July ****, indicating strengthening British pounds against Japanese yen. As of July 10, the pair is trading above the 200-day SMA level, signaling bullish momentum. The Simple Moving Average, or SMA, is a common metric used within stock and FX market analysis and especially focuses on long-term trends.

If the price of the asset remains above this average, it is generally considered to be in an upward trend.

There is growing interest in the use of critical slowing down and critical fluctuations as early warning signals for critical transitions in different complex systems. However, while some studies found them effective, others found the opposite. In this paper, we investigated why this might be so, by testing three commonly used indicators: lag-1 autocorrelation, variance, and low-frequency power spectrum at anticipating critical transitions in the very-high-frequency time series data of the Australian Dollar-Japanese Yen and Swiss Franc-Japanese Yen exchange rates. Besides testing rising trends in these indicators at a strict level of confidence using the Kendall-tau test, we also required statistically significant early warning signals to be concurrent in the three indicators, which must rise to appreciable values. We then found for our data set the optimum parameters for discovering critical transitions, and showed that the set of critical transitions found is generally insensitive to variations in the parameters. Suspecting that negative results in the literature are the results of low data frequencies, we created time series with time intervals over three orders of magnitude from the raw data, and tested them for early warning signals. Early warning signals can be reliably found only if the time interval of the data is shorter than the time scale of critical transitions in our complex system of interest. Finally, we compared the set of time windows with statistically significant early warning signals with the set of time windows followed by large movements, to conclude that the early warning signals indeed provide reliable information on impending critical transitions. This reliability becomes more compelling statistically the more events we test.

The yen continued to weaken against the pound in July 2025, as investors questioned the country's economic plans and recent developments in the global market. This is a different situation than in, for example, September 2022, when the UK government announced its plans to roll out trickle-down economics in the country — financial measures that would mostly benefit the wealthier parts of UK society and that would eventually “spill over” to other parts of the country. Such measures had been introduced before in the United Kingdom during the 1980s - when GDP did increase overall. Nevertheless, many economists and investors believed the current plans were “risky” or “an experiment”, as the economy suffered from issues on the demand side.

A graphic that displays the dollar performance against other currencies reveals that economic developments had mixed results on currency exchanges. The third quarter of 2023 marked a period of disinflation in the euro area, while China's projected growth was projected to go up. The United States economy was said to have a relatively strong performance in Q3 2023, although growing capital market interest rate and the resumption of student loan repayments might dampen this growth at the end of 2023. A relatively weak Japanese yen Q3 2023 saw pressure from investors towards Japanese authorities on how they would respond to the situation surrounding the Japanese yen. The USD/JPY rate was close to ***, whereas analysts suspected it should be around ** given the country's purchase power parity. The main reason for this disparity is said to be the differences in central bank interest rates between the United States, the euro area, and Japan. Any future aggressive changes from, especially the U.S. Fed might lower those differences. Financial markets responded somewhat disappoint when Japan did not announce major plans to tackle the situation. Potential rent decreases in 2024 Central bank rates peak in 2023, although it is expected that some of these will decline in early 2024.

In fiscal year 2021, the market size of plant-based foods in Japan was estimated at ** billion Japanese yen. The market was forecast to grow steadily to ** billion yen in fiscal 2025. While the rising awareness of sustainable and ethical consumption is stimulating market growth in Japan, plant-based foods have long been a part of Japanese eating culture without recognition as an alternative to animal products. Plant-based proteins Plant-based foods cover a broad range of alternatives to animal-derived products, but among the most commonly associated segments are meat alternatives made from soybeans. Soy products like tofu are actively consumed as a general side dish in Japan, but a stand-alone soy meat market is only emergent. Advances in food technology have been closing the gaps between conventional meats and imitation products regarding texture, taste, and culinary uses, with the familiarity with meat alternatives slowly growing. Elevating soy to plant-based foods? Soy-based foods are considered a factor contributing to the healthy aspect of traditional Japanese foods (washoku), with the beans being processed into a variety of foods, condiments, and beverages. But unlike the global consumer market, soy milk and tofu are considered more as general foods than plant-based alternatives to cow’s milk and meat. Soy milk is consumed as a regular beverage in Japan, with flavored, fruity soy beverages being no rarity on store shelves. Tofu, on the other hand, is a multipurpose ingredient in Japanese cuisine, available in a variety of textures through frying, freeze-drying, stir-frying, or steaming the pressed soy curds. With startups and established meat processors joining the plant-based food market, manufacturers are faced with the challenge of setting themselves apart from conventional soy products.
