BOJ senior official: The BOJ will continue to examine market developments and their impact on Japan

A senior official of the Bank of Japan (BOJ) crossed the cables in the last hour, citing the tariffs of the president of the US, Donald Trump, as a cause of the volatile movements of the market.

Key quotes:

  • Markets, particularly US actions and long -term interest rates, are making volatile movements due in part to US tariff policy.
  • Unlike the global financial crisis, we are not seeing a strong contraction of liquidity.
  • The BOJ will continue to examine market developments and their impact on Japan and foreign economies.

Market reaction:

The Japanese yen (JPY) maintains its negative bias, which, together with a modest rebound of the US dollar (USD), keeps the USD/JPy well demanded just below the middle zone of 143.00.
