Main takeaway: The yen suddenly jumped against the dollar on Thursday amid trader concern Japan might intervene to support the yen. It’s unclear what caused the move or whether authorities intervened. The move was smaller than past interventions; policy or tactics may have changed.
币界网消息,周四,日元兑美元汇率突然跳涨,交易员对日本当局可能出手干预以支撑日元保持高度警惕。目前尚不清楚是什么引发了这一市场波动,也不清楚日本当局是否入市干预。此次波动幅度似乎小于此前几轮干预后的走势。三井住友银行首席外汇策略师铃木博文称:“目前尚不清楚这是否是干预。但正如报道所述,当局有可能已转变干预策略和战术,可能不再提前发出干预信号,这可能使日元进一步走弱变得更加困难。”。
