USDJPY has recorded substantial losses on yesterday, mainly due to possible foreign exchange market intervention by the Bank of Japan. Authorities have been tight-lipped with regards to the approach, but monthly data shows substantial amount of currency reserves spent from April 26 to May 29.
Nonetheless, the pair rose slightly but remained close to recent high due to substantial weakness in terms of Japanese economic progression. Earlier today, preliminary reading shows substantial contraction in Japan’s Industrial Production, attributed to lower shipment in terms of transport equipment, business-oriented machinery, and electronics equipment.
