  + stars: | 2024-10-07 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: 1 min
People stand outside a money changer looking at the rates of the Japanese yen against foreign currencies, along a street in central Tokyo on April 29, 2024. Japan's top currency diplomat, Atsushi Mimura, issued on Monday a warning against speculative moves on the foreign exchange market as the yen fell below 149 per dollar. "We will monitor currency market moves including speculative trading with a sense of urgency," Mimura told reporters, reviving a verbal warning tactic that his predecessor, Masato Kanda, frequently used. Mimura declined to comment on the specifics of the current market situation.

☆ Japan top currency diplomat says watching for any build-up of yen carry trades: report
  + stars: | 2024-09-21 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
Sheets of newly-designed Japanese 10,000 yen banknotes move through a machine at the National Printing Bureau Tokyo plant in Tokyo, Japan, on Wednesday, June 19, 2024. Persistent weakness in the yen is raising concerns about the potential for a resurgence in cost-push inflation, likely weighing on private consumption. Japan's top currency diplomat Atsushi Mimura said authorities are "always watching markets" as a renewed build-up of yen carry trades could heighten market volatility, public broadcaster NHK quoted him as saying in an interview that ran on Friday. Mimura said yen carry trades built up in the past are likely to have been mostly unwound, according to NHK. We are always watching markets to ensure that does not happen," Mimura was quoted as saying.

☆ Japan's new currency diplomat keeps intervention on table to stabilize yen
  + stars: | 2024-07-31 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
Japan will retain its basic approach on the yen with intervention remaining an option to tackle excessively volatile moves in the exchange rate, the country's new top currency diplomat Atsushi Mimura told Reuters. "It has been internationally agreed that measures including interventions are allowed when necessary," he added. Previously head of the ministry's international bureau, the 57-year-old became vice finance minister for international affairs on Wednesday — a post that oversees Japan's currency policy and coordinates economic policy with other countries. Mimura's appointment comes as the Japanese currency shows tentative signs of recovery from 38-year lows, as investors unwound their long-running bets against the currency ahead of a Bank of Japan meeting this week. While a weak yen gives exports a boost, it has become a source of concern for policymakers by pushing up the cost of imports and hurting consumption.
