Intervention Can Only Curb Speculative Yen Weakness -- Market Talk

Dow Jones14:06

0606 GMT - The Japanese government can only curb speculative yen weakness with currency intervention, says Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities strategist Daisaku Ueno. "As the gap between positive and negative real policy rates in the U.S. and Japan persists, it would be difficult for the magic of currency intervention to permanently contain the yen-selling pressure, which is structurally driven by investment decisions and real demand arising from the economic activities of Japanese companies and individuals," he says. Japan's Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama says she is ready to take appropriate action in the foreign exchange market as needed. The dollar is last trading at 161.68 yen, well beyond the intervention danger zone. (megumi.fujikawa@wsj.com)
