The yen slipped beyond 158.5 after the Bank of Japan kept rates unchanged at 0.75%, despite Governor Ueda’s upbeat assessment of a moderate economic recovery and repeated signals that rates will rise if the outlook holds.

Markets interpreted the decision as a mismatch between rhetoric and action. With fiscal uncertainty still elevated and a snap election approaching, verbal commitment to future hikes was not enough to support the currency, keeping pressure on the yen and focus on the 160 level.

Yen is in ICU

Always "Economy is Recovering"

Was it involved in an accident?

At least EUR/JPY & CHF/JPY are at ATH and the sky is their limit, while people speculate about intervention

Each time Ueda opens his stupid mouth, yen falls. He already knows yen is so weak why make comments like "loose policy stance will help economic growth". Everybody already knows they are practising loose monetary policy, so why keep harping on it??? About time Ueda learnt how to communicate properly

Good luck with intervention! May the best collect most pips!

Are you serious? I do not see intervention at all. Or are you being cynical?

So this is the intervention y'all been talking about all year?? I thought it would pull UJ back to 140s

... Like is the YEN in that much trouble that an intervention barely helps?

And he keeps talking of "if economic outlook realised". How to realise if you , yourself has not realised that ? A real idiot. As long as you practise loose monetary policy and push yen down, how can the economy ever improve??

Looks like there is an intervention but a very very weak one. They should push harder and let yen fly high ,and should have repeated interventions to make it more effective,
