Japan’s Deputy Finance Minister Ryosei Akazawa crossed the wires in the last hour and reiterated that the government will intervene in the FX market to curb excess volatility.

Key Quotes:

  • Any FX intervention will be aimed at arresting excess volatility.
  • We won’t intervene just because the Japanese Yen (JPY) is weakening.
