Golden Ten Data, March 17 — Japanese Finance Minister Katsuyuki Katayama stated that recent exchange rate fluctuations are inconsistent with economic fundamentals and once again warned that authorities may take action to address exchange rate movements. "There has been significant volatility across the overall financial market," Katayama told reporters on Tuesday. She pointed out that the disconnect between exchange rate fluctuations and economic fundamentals has persisted for some time, and noted that the current deviation seems particularly pronounced. Referring to her remarks on Monday, Katayama said, "Considering the impact of exchange rates on people's daily lives, we are fully prepared to respond at any time." Akira Moroga, Chief Market Strategist at Aozora Bank, commented that the "decisive action" mentioned by Katayama on Monday is almost the strongest wording possible. Concerns about intervention have limited the upside for the US dollar. Teppei Ino, Head of Tokyo Global Market Research at Mitsubishi UFJ Bank, stated that we need to keep in mind the possibility of the yen falling below 160 again. Government officials may continue to issue verbal warnings, but these statements are unlikely to substantially change market sentiment.
