[Analyst: Japan Suspected of Intervening in Yen Exchange Rate] Odaily Planet Daily News - Financial website Investinglive analyst Giuseppe Dellamotta stated that after the Bank of Japan's interest rate decision led to a weakening yen, it appears that Japanese officials did indeed intervene in the foreign exchange market. It seems Japanese officials have set the USD/JPY exchange rate floor at 159.00. Last week, we also saw an increase in official verbal interventions, which helped ease the pressure on the yen. (Jin10)
