Japanese yen strengthens after Tokyo warning, USD/JPY slips toward 156.5
đŻđ” The Japanese yen strengthened during the European session after top FX official Atsushi Mimura warned that markets should take Tokyoâs message âliterally,â while stressing that Japan does not lack the resources to intervene if necessary.
đ USD/JPY quickly retreated from above 157 to around 156.5â156.8. The yen also gained against EUR, GBP and several other major currencies, suggesting the move was driven largely by JPY-specific factors rather than broad USD weakness.
â ïž This remains verbal intervention, with no confirmation that Japan directly bought yen during the session. However, following its previous large-scale intervention, warnings from Tokyo now carry greater weight.
đ USD/JPY is still trading broadly within the 155â160 range. The USâJapan yield gap remains wide, so the latest yen rebound is not yet enough to confirm a sustained trend reversal.
