Japan Chief Cabinet Secretary Kihara said monetary policy is the responsibility of the Bank of Japan.

ING analyst Francisco Pesole said Japanese authorities may have intervened in the yen on Thursday and could act again on Friday as liquidity thins for a U.S. holiday. USD/JPY fell in early Thursday trade even before weak U.S. nonfarm payrolls pushed it below 161.00, and Pesole said the initial dip could have been intervention-driven. He warned further intervention risk remains; Japan typically intervenes around holidays and spreads operations over multiple days, and acting after adverse dollar moves is consistent with its 2024 strategy.
