A quick drop in USD/JPY before bouncing back up
The desk interprets recent price action in USD/JPY as indicative of diminishing effectiveness of intervention measures by Japanese authorities. Per the full note [source], the pair's drop from 157.70 to 156.75, followed by a rebound to around 157.30, suggests market resilience despite intervention signals.
