REUTERS/Issei KatoTOKYO, Nov 1 (Reuters) – Japan’s top currency diplomat Masato Kanda said on Wednesday authorities were on standby to respond to recent “one-sided, sharp” moves in the yen, escalating his warning to investors against pushing down the currency too much.
“Speculative trading seems to be the biggest factor behind recent currency moves,” Kanda, vice finance minister for international affairs, told reporters on the yen’s declines. The situation surrounding yen moves has become “more tense” than before, he said, adding that authorities will “respond appropriately without ruling out any options”.
