Yen holds intervention-led gains as traders brace for possible further action
Confirmed coordinated yen-buying intervention by Japan with U.S. participation has deterred speculative short positioning, keeping JPY stronger despite a modest pullback. The episode also pressured the dollar broadly, with DXY rebounding only slightly, while Fed's hold and upcoming U.S. payrolls shape repricing of the near-term rates path. Elevated USD/JPY volumes underscore continued event risk and potential follow-through intervention sensitivity.
