Additional comments

Recent Yen moves are not reflecting fundamentals

Speculative moves behind recent Yen moves.

Closely watching FX moves with a high sense of urgency.

I don't consider a 4% move in a span of 2 weeks a mild move.

BoJ official said that if forex market moves affect economy, price trends, central bank would respond through monetary policy.

USD/JPY is rebounding toward 151.50 after Kanda’s comments, still down 0.13% on the day.
