Japan's Prime Minister said on Thursday that her government's policies will lift market confidence in the yen, after previous efforts to boost the currency, including U.S. intervention, underwhelmed.
高市早苗在接受日本电视台采访时表示，根据路透社翻译的讲话内容，她在上月与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普通话时告诉对方，日元估值偏低是一个问题。高市早苗说：“我们的经济政策并非旨在操纵汇率。”
Sanae Takaichi told Nippon Television, in comments translated by Reuters, that she told U.S. President Donald Trump that the currency's undervaluation was a problem when the pair spoke last month. "Our economic policy is not aimed at manipulating exchange rates," Takaichi said.

"Such efforts would strengthen Japan's global competitiveness, thereby helping ensure market confidence in the yen." joint U.S.-Japan intervention to support the yen, along with the Bank of Japan's 25 basis point September rate hike, helped make the yen the G10's top-performing currency in the third quarter, adding 3.3% against the dollar, according to Deutsche Bank data. dollar traded at 158.37 yen, as of 5.57 a.m.

法国兴业银行首席外汇策略师基特·朱克斯在周三的报告中写道，市场普遍认为，近期美元兑日元汇率很可能再次遭到干预，而当前的价格走势反映出投资者不愿因干预而措手不及。他补充说：“不过，油价再次飙升很容易逆转近期风险情绪的改善，因此目前仍需保持谨慎。”
Societe Generale's chief FX strategist, Kit Juckes, wrote in a Wednesday note that there is "a strong market perception that further USD/JPY intervention is likely in the near future," with current pricing reflecting investors' "reluctance to be caught out by intervention." "Another spike in oil prices could easily reverse the recent improvement in risk sentiment, however, and caution still seems warranted," he added.
OCBC集团研究部门的外汇策略师Sim Moh Siong和Christopher Wong在周一发布的报告中表示，日元“估值低廉”对缓解贬值压力几乎没起作用。他们补充说：“尽管进一步干预的威胁应能限制无序贬值，但若没有国内政策变化的支持，单靠干预不太可能推动日元持续回升。”
FX strategists at OCBC Group Research, Sim Moh Siong and Christopher Wong, said in a Monday note that the yen's "cheap valuation has done little to ease depreciation pressures." "While the threat of further intervention should limit disorderly depreciation, intervention alone is unlikely to deliver a sustained recovery without support from domestic policy changes," they added.
日元疲软令日本政策制定者头疼。日元走弱推高了日本的进口成本和整体通胀；批评者将高市的支出计划归咎于汇率承压和债券收益率上升。
Yen weakness is a headache for Japan's policymakers The yen's weakness has pushed up Japanese import costs and broader inflation, with Takaichi's spending plans blamed by critics for pressure on the currency and higher bond yields.

高市表示，日本政府将在有助于降低日本债务与国内生产总值之比的水平上安排支出，并“适当管理”债券发行规模。她补充说：“我们将根据财政需求确保资金来源。”
The Japanese government will set spending at levels consistent with lowering Japan's debt-to-GDP ratio and "appropriately manage" the size of bond issuances, Takaichi said. "We will secure funding in responding to fiscal needs," she added. Choose CNBC as your preferred source on Google and never miss a moment from the most trusted name in business news.
