Yen Intervention Warning: Japan's officials, including currency diplomat Atsushi Mimura, expressed concerns over "one-sided and sharp" currency moves, leading to a modest lift in the yen as USD/JPY fell from 157.75 to around 157.25.
Market Response: The verbal intervention from Japanese authorities has slowed momentum in yen declines, indicating limited tolerance for excessive volatility, although it has not yet reversed the overall trend.
AUD/JPY Dynamics: The AUD/JPY pair remains supported by favorable yield differentials between Australian and Japanese government bonds, with forecasts suggesting it could rise to 109 by March 2026.
Role of Atsushi Mimura: As Japan's top currency diplomat, Mimura is responsible for monitoring foreign-exchange policy and determining when to intervene in the market, typically through yen-buying operations to stabilize sharp movements.
