Abstract:In April, Japan experienced a significant decline in its foreign currency reserves, with a drop of $14 billion largely attributed to the decrease in the value of foreign securities holdings.
In April, Japan experienced a significant decline in its foreign currency reserves, with a drop of $14 billion largely attributed to the decrease in the value of foreign securities holdings.
According to a finance ministry report released on Thursday, Japan's forex reserves fell to $1.14 trillion in April. This decline was primarily driven by a decrease in holdings of foreign securities, which decreased from $995 billion to $978 billion compared to the previous month. The decrease in securities holdings was anticipated due to a drop in the market value of overseas assets, including Treasuries, as yields rose.
This data follows speculation that Japan intervened in the market twice to support the yen, with the first intervention occurring at the end of April. While Japanese officials have not confirmed any intervention, a Bloomberg analysis of the central bank's current account suggests that the nation likely entered the market twice last week. The estimated amount of yen bought during the first action is approximately ¥6.2 trillion ($40 billion), based on updated data and money broker estimates.
Japanese officials have consistently maintained a strategy of neither confirming nor denying intervention, leaving investors to infer market moves. Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki and his deputy declined to confirm any interventions when questioned by reporters last week and earlier this week, respectively.
