Despite the verbal warning, the Japanese yen lingers at a 7-month low against the US dollar
Japan’s yen remained at a seven-month low despite the country’s finance minister warning that the government would respond if the currency depreciated too much.
The yen was trading at 143 yen to the US dollar, the weakest since Nov. 11, after falling to 146.2 yen.
This follows a similar warning from International Affairs Vice Finance Minister Masato Kanda on Monday.
Last year, Japan’s finance ministry intervened with about $68 billion to devalue the yen on three separate days: September 22, October 21 and October 24 – when the currency hit 150 against the greenback, weakening to levels not seen since 1990.
The policy divergence between the Bank of Japan’s ultra-easy monetary policy and the U.S. Federal Reserve’s aggressive tightening stance on inflation is weighing on the dollar’s strength.
