日元每周展望:日本央行干预威胁使美元/日元处于紧张状态。周四美元/日元的突然下跌再次引发了人们的猜测,即日本央行可能代表日本财政部进入市场。是否如此尚不清楚,但此举可能反映了其他因素的结合,包括路透社的一篇适时报道暗示日本当局可能正在寻求让投机者措手不及,日元空头头寸严重紧张,在美国就业报告和独立日假期之前流动性减少,以及美联储主席凯文·沃什在几个小时前发表了稍微不那么鹰派的讲话。
Japanese yen weekly outlook: BOJ intervention threat leaves USD/JPY on edge.Thursday's abrupt decline in USD/JPY reignited speculation that the Bank of Japan may have stepped into the market on behalf of Japan's Ministry of Finance. Whether that was the case remains unclear, but it's plausible the move reflected a combination of other factors, including a well-timed Reuters report suggesting Japanese authorities may be looking to catch speculators off guard, heavily stretched short yen positioning, thinning liquidity ahead of the US payrolls report and Independence Day holiday, and Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh striking a slightly less hawkish tone only hours earlier.
