Japan’s Ministry of Finance disclosed that authorities bought yen on three days in July and August, spending a total of ¥15.4 trillion, including a record ¥7.98 trillion on July 30. USD/JPY fell to 157.884 as traders assessed the intervention figures and the Bank of Japan’s rate outlook.
The scale of Japan’s yen purchases reinforces the risk of further intervention and could support the yen, putting downward pressure on USD/JPY. A stronger yen can reduce the local-currency cost of imported feed and energy for Japanese buyers.
