Market Response to BOJ Governor's Remarks: The Japanese yen experienced a brief spike after BOJ Governor Ueda's comments, but ultimately the USD/JPY pair climbed above 159.00 before falling back to around 158.00, indicating market volatility.
Lack of Intervention Signals: Ueda's silence on potential interventions suggests a cautious approach, with the market interpreting this as a sign that the Ministry of Finance (MOF) may be conducting 'rate checks' rather than preparing for immediate action.
Historical Context of Rate Checks: Previous instances of 'rate checks' by the MOF occurred before actual interventions, as seen in July 2024 and September 2022, indicating a pattern of monitoring before taking decisive action.
Current Market Sentiment: The overall tone reflects a belief that actions will speak louder than words, with traders remaining alert to any signs of intervention in the currency market.
