Yen Strengthens Sharply Against US Dollar

Well that's like saying if usd is down then bitcoin should be up. There is no direct mechanical linkage where if one goes down the other must go up. Gold usually trades like a risk asset so if it's risk-on then gold goes up and if risk-off then usd goes up, but now the boj is distorting the market by artificially weakening the usd, so both usd and gold goes down.

There is more of a linkage with oil because usd is required to buy oil so if oil goes up people need more usd to buy the same amount of oil, but even that is not working at the moment because of the boj.

If the BoJ abruptly announces an aggressive raise, carry unwind may become reflexive and violent—as happened in August 2024 when USDJPY plummeted ~15 yen in a few weeks. In the summer of 2024, the Bank of Japan sold approximately $100 billion in the 158-160 area. They are likely to intervene again at that level, though they prefer conditions in which the dollar has already depreciated fundamentally enough to allow for effective intervention. (bbg insider)

A Japanese government official confirmed to Nikkei that the Ministry of Finance (MoF) and the Bank of Japan (BoJ) had bought Japanese Yen (JPY) and sold US Dollars (USD) directly on the forex market.

this energy crisis is going is not going to be short term issue. japan cannot afford to pay so much with a weak yen exchange rate. they are just posturing in advance.

true they need a stronger yen to buy oil. But Bank of japan cannot intervene everyday.

June holiday is coming and weaker yen boost tourism in Japan. the intervention at most last 1-3 days at most.

Why can't they tank USDJPY and buy it back slowly at 200 pips lower? They could do that all day everyday.

If they had not avoided raising rates over and over again, their government wouldn't have to pay dearly for social programs and the BOJ wouldn't have to buy up worthless lotus papers of Yen in bulk now.
