JPY leads G10 currencies amid BoJ intervention speculation – Commerzbank
|The Japanese Yen is currently the strongest currency among the G10, driven by speculation of potential intervention by the Bank of Japan. Statements from Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi indicate that the government is prepared to take measures against speculative movements. Analysts suggest that the effectiveness of such interventions may depend on various factors, including intervention volumes and communication strategies. Commerzbank's Head of FX and Commodity Research Thu Lan Nguyen reports.
Speculation around Bank of Japan intervention
"This was fueled primarily by statements circulating in the press from some currency dealers who had received rate checks from the Bank of Japan and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York - a presumed sign of imminent intervention by the two institutions."
"This is a clear warning that interventions can be expected in the future."
"However, I doubt that the fate of the yen can be sealed by a possible intervention by the BoJ."
