Japan Finance Minister Kato says he is alarmed over FX moves, driven by speculators
As USD/JPY jumped past 150 figure, we are beginning to hear verbal intervention, starting from Japanese FM Kato on speculative weakness in the JPY. We do not see the BoJ to actually intervene as the pace of weakness isn’t alarming yet.
USD/JPY is trading 0.07% lower at 150.61.
