August 10, Fineko/abc.az. The Japanese yen became the worst-performing G-10 currency in August as the impact of recent currency interventions faded, keeping markets alert for further official action.

The yen fell nearly 0.5% against the US dollar in August, giving back part of July’s 3.2% gain. A brief rally on Friday driven by weak US jobs data quickly reversed into further losses.

Thin liquidity due to Tuesday’s holiday in Japan increases the risk of new intervention. Despite historic joint action by US and Japanese authorities, pressure on the yen remains alongside fiscal spending concerns. Nomura Securities strategists expect limited market activity during the holiday, with focus remaining on official statements.
