Japanese Yen Has Limited Scope to Recover -- Market Talk

Dow Jones02-25 20:39

1239 GMT - The Japanese yen has limited scope to recover even if interventions are carried out to prop up the currency, Societe Generale strategists say in a note. The U.S. and Japan flirted with coordinated interventions after U.S. officials carried out a rate check, although actual interventions might be needed to turn around yen sentiment, they say. "Even then, without a shift in the relative growth outlook, the dollar-yen is not going to be able to fall very far." The dollar rises to a two-week high of 156.82 yen, LSEG data show. Local media reported that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi expressed reservation about further interest-rate rises while the government nominated two academics seen favoring loose policy to the BOJ's board.
