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.
