Yen rockets on reports of official intervention to shore up currency

Japan’s yen jumped as much as 3% after reports that authorities carried out official intervention on April 30 to shore up the currency—the first such move since 2024; the Nikkei cited a government source saying officials bought yen and sold dollars with the BoJ, while Finance Minister Katayama signaled decisive action was near and currency diplomat Mimura warned moves were increasing. The dollar weakened to about 156.7 yen, the biggest one-day drop since December 2022, with the MOF saying action could come on all fronts.

Intervention whispers lift EUR as dollar wobbles amid USD/JPY pressure

Suspected USD/JPY intervention—possibly involving the US—has contributed to roughly a 3.5% drop in the dollar since Friday, lifting EUR/USD through 1.18 and pushing USD/CHF lower. The move isn’t seen as fundamentally driven, but the dollar risk premium could stay elevated ahead of this week’s FOMC meeting. Key levels to watch include DXY with a resistance at 97.42 and support near 96.20–96.35, while USD/JPY faces intraday resistance around 155.65. Regional central-bank moves toward rate cuts are supporting euro strength, with traders eyeing earnings and macro data for signs of sustenance.)

Japan vows steps against speculative moves as yen spikes amid election push

PM Sanae Takaichi pledged to take necessary steps against speculative or abnormal market moves after a yen spike and bond rout tied to expansionary fiscal policy and the BOJ’s slow rate hikes, while promising a two-year suspension of the 8% food sales tax; opposition parties floated funding a tax cut by tapping the BOJ’s ETF holdings or currency intervention reserves, prompting concerns about market impact and central-bank independence as the BOJ signals readiness for emergency bond-buying if yields rise.
