USD/JPY slipped below 158.50 in Asian trade on Wednesday, retreating from a near three-week high. Traders priced in possible Japanese intervention after Finance Minister Katayama said Japan was ready to act against disorderly yen weakness, while Trump's comment that the US had no immediate plans to strike Iran eased the geopolitical premium on the dollar.
A weaker dollar and possible yen intervention are FX moves rather than direct grain supply changes, but a softer USD generally supports US dollar-priced commodities such as soybeans and corn for Japanese and other importers.
