Can thiệp ngoại hối gần đây của Nhật Bản đạt mức cao nhất hàng tháng với 34 tỷ USD

The Huoxing Finance report states that on August 3, Japan's Minister of Finance, Katsunobu Kato, confirmed that the Japanese government intervened in the foreign exchange market last Friday. Market analysis suggests that Japanese authorities may have spent approximately JPY 5.33 trillion (about USD 34 billion) to buy yen on that day, making this intervention the largest single-month intervention on record. Bloomberg, based on data from the Bank of Japan's accounts and market forecasts, estimates that Japan's intervention amount last Friday was approximately JPY 5.33 trillion. If confirmed, this would bring Japan's recent cumulative intervention total beyond the previous record of JPY 11.73 trillion. Previously, on Thursday last week, Japanese authorities were estimated to have deployed around JPY 8.45 trillion to support the yen, potentially marking the largest single-day FX intervention in Japanese history. This action followed the USD/JPY exchange rate rising to as high as 164, a level not seen since 1986. Japan is attempting to counter speculative short positions and stabilize exchange rate movements by buying yen. The U.S. Treasury Department also participated in efforts to bolster the yen, regarded as the closest monetary policy coordination between Japan and the U.S. in 15 years. U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent stated that the U.S. would not rule out further market intervention, and President Trump expressed support for the move. Market participants expect that Japanese authorities may take further action in the coming days. Traders are also closely monitoring the possibility of a Bank of Japan rate hike in September, as well as the quarterly foreign exchange intervention report to be released by Japan's Ministry of Finance this Friday, which will disclose daily intervention details from April to June.
