Japanese Finance Minister Katsuyuki Katayama hinted at the possibility of taking bold actions to address exchange rate fluctuations, as the Japanese yen is currently hovering around the 160 level against the US dollar, close to the levels at which Japanese authorities intervened in the currency market multiple times in 2024.

She stated that the reason for the yen's weakness is the ongoing tensions in the Middle East, and that Japanese authorities will take decisive measures, emphasizing that speculative activities are driven by trends in the oil market.

Katayama's remarks suggest that the Japanese government is not only focused on the currency market but also on broader markets, including commodities. There are reports that the Japanese Ministry of Finance has discussed potential interventions in crude oil futures trading with market participants. (mn/da)
