<p class="has-drop-cap">The US dollar (USD) rose above 149 against the Japanese yen (JPY) on Tuesday morning, bringing the greenback to a nearly 1-year high momentarily. However, JPY recovered some losses the following hours after Japan’s finance minister <a aria-label="issued two warnings (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-09-26/japan-warns-again-on-yen-after-dollar-breaches-149-mark#:~:text=Japan's%20finance%20minister%20issued%20his,to%20prop%20up%20the%20currency." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">issued </a>a statement on the current market conditions and hinted at possible forex intervention.</p> 
<h3 id="japan-s-finance-minister-hints-at-possible-forex-intervention">Japan’s Finance Minister Hints at Possible Forex Intervention</h3> 
<p>The USD/JPY pair crossed the 149 mark on Tuesday, marking the yen’s worst level against the greenback since October 2022. The yen’s slide came on the same day when Japan’s finance minister issued his second warning to forex investors in just several hours.</p> 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
 <p>“As I said at the morning press conference, I’m watching market trends with a high sense of urgency.”</p> <cite>– Japan’s Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki warned on Tuesday afternoon.</cite> 
</blockquote> 
<p>Suzuki’s first warning, in early trading hours, triggered a slight reaction among investors. However, the minister’s afternoon words of caution boosted the yen back to 148.8, from around 149.19 hours earlier.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Earlier in the day, Suzuki said Tokyo plans to take the needed steps to prevent excessive currency fluctuations without ruling out any options. In other words, there is a decent chance that Japan could directly intervene in the currency markets to prop up the yen, if necessary.</p>

<h3 id="the-discrepancy-in-monetary-policy-between-us-and-japan">The Discrepancy in Monetary Policy Between US and Japan</h3> 
<p>The yen’s continued decline in value against the dollar and other major currencies is primarily due to a notable difference in monetary policies between Japan and other major economies worldwide.</p> 
<p>Notably, policymakers across the US, Europe, and the UK have been constantly <a href="https://tokenist.com/chances-of-a-25-bps-hike-at-98-9-as-fomc-decision-due-today/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">hiking interest rates</a> over the past year and a half to bring down inflation, while the Bank of Japan (BOJ) held onto its <a href="https://tokenist.com/why-japans-central-bank-remains-dovish-and-its-global-implications/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">dovish approach</a> during that period. In particular, the BOJ has insisted that stimulus must continue, resisting urges to impose a near-term rate increase.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Japan’s ultra-dovish stance emerged 10 years ago, when former prime minister Shinzo Abe and his economic advisor, Haruhiko Kuroda, introduced a set of economic policies known as ‘<a href="https://www.japan.go.jp/abenomics/index.html" target="_blank" aria-label="Abenomics (opens in a new tab)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">Abenomics</a>.’ However, the current BOJ policymakers have been <a href="https://tokenist.com/yen-gains-against-dollar-as-boj-reconsiders-dovish-policy/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">considering rotating away</a> from the substantial monetary stimulus recently as their national currency continues to feel the pressure.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Last year, <a aria-label="Japan spent (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/asia/japan-likely-spent-record-amount-october-prop-up-yen-2022-10-31/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">Japan spent</a> tens of billions of dollars intervening on three separate days to boost the yen. A comparable endeavor might be in the offing soon, especially if the yen continues its decline against the US dollar.</p>
