Japanese Finance Minister Satoki Katayama described recent currency movements as one-sided and rapid today, stating that Tokyo will continue close coordination with the US Treasury. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York report released yesterday confirmed that the US Treasury participated in yen purchases during the summer. This increases the significance of the warning for the market and limits demand for the dollar against the yen.
On the monetary policy front, arguments favoring the dollar remain stronger so far. Bank of Japan Board Member Toichiro Asada warned against a premature rate hike due to risks to economic growth. In the US, conversely, John Williams allowed for further tightening, and rising short-term yields maintain the attractiveness of dollar assets for investors utilizing interest rate differentials.
A strong US producer price report could extend USDJPY gains if US yields hold at elevated levels. A weak reading could trigger the opposite move. Demand for the yen can also increase rapidly amid deteriorating stock market sentiment or actual currency purchases by authorities.
