JPY risks spike as USD/JPY enters intervention territory
"USD/JPY has continued to rally and at 157-158 is now clearly in intervention territory. However, our view remains that Japanese officials prefer to intervene after a USD-negative event, like they did in July 2024. If today’s payrolls prove to be bad, we could see an intervention in USD/JPY."
