What happened to USDJPY suddenly? 

USD/JPYOANDA

Description

Just noticed USDJPY dropped pretty heavily at what seemed like a not-important time of day. Was curious if anyone knew exactly what happened.
I did read on Twitter at the exact moment it dropped, that former President of Japan Shinzo Abe collapsed while giving speech or something. A gunshot was heard. Very odd for Japan.
So I’m curious if for some reason that affected the price. No idea.

Actually just read it on FXStreet that USDJPY falls due to Abe being shot. So looks like I was right.

@shyIguana46232 no confirmation of any death yet. Just in hospital and cardiac arrest. Didn’t read any update on him being dead.

But I’m not sure. The timing was bizarre that as soon as that News broke, JPY shot upwards. Found it weird.
