Japan may have spent about $87 billion in latest FX operation to prop up the yen
AI Market Summary
Reports indicate Japan likely deployed about $87B (¥11T) across July 30'31 to buy yen, highlighting continued willingness to lean against rapid JPY weakness. Large, repeated intervention can compress USDJPY volatility near key levels while raising event risk around future BoJ and MoF actions. The scale also underscores potential liquidity and positioning impacts for global FX carry trades and Japan-linked risk assets.
