DBS: Japanese Yen Intervention Risks Rise as USD/JPY Breaks Above 161

DBS Group Research strategist Chang Wei Liang notes that USD/JPY has broken above 161, returning to levels that previously triggered official intervention, thereby raising the risk of further action by Japanese authorities.

USDJPY

DBS Group Research strategist Chang Wei Liang highlighted that USD/JPY has breached the 161 level, a threshold that has historically prompted official intervention by Japanese authorities. This move increases the probability that the Ministry of Finance may step in to stem yen weakness.

The note underscores heightened market vigilance, as traders weigh the likelihood of a direct response from Tokyo. The yen has been under sustained pressure, and any intervention would aim to curb excessive depreciation.
