Dollar against Yen: The Dollar reaches a 24-year high against the Yen after US yields rise

On Wednesday, as traders anticipated the US inflation data and its potential impact on future Federal Reserve rate hikes, the dollar reached new 24-year highs against the yen, breaking beyond levels that prompted intervention by Japanese officials last month.

Following Bank of England, Governor Andrew Bailey’s reiteration that the institution will stop its emergency bond-buying program on Friday, sterling fell to a fresh two-week low. Bailey also instructed pension fund managers to complete position rebalancing by that date.

The pound did, however, somewhat recover after a story claimed that the BoE had quietly informed borrowers that it was willing to extend its bond buying.

The difference in long-term bond yields between the United States and Japan has a strong impact on the value of the Japanese yen. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield increased overnight to a 14-year high of 4.006%, while the Bank of Japan has effectively frozen the corresponding return on Japanese government bonds at zero.

Australian dollars, a risky currency, dropped to a 2.5-year low.

In Asian trading, the dollar gained 0.22 percent to 146.18 yen after reaching a high of 146.39 for the first time since August 1998.

On September 22, when the yen dropped as low as 145.90 to the dollar, Japanese authorities carried out their first yen-buying intervention since 1998.

At a routine media briefing on Wednesday, Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno stated that officials remained prepared to take the necessary action to thwart abnormal currency moves.

According to Alvin Tan, head of Asia currency strategy at RBC Capital Markets, “with the overarching strong dollar trend in place, it’s possible that the Bank of Japan will indeed try to minimize the pace of the dollar-increase yen’s by maintaining at a greater level” than previously.”

Tan continued, “However, the Bank of Japan is also aware of the soaring uncertainty at the global macro level, which is now a bigger driver for potential further intervention than the volatility in any independent currencies.” Tan predicts that Japan’s currency will depreciate to 150 per dollar by the turn of the year.

The BOJ stands alone among central banks of industrialized countries by pledging to continue its enormous bond-buying stimulus even as international policymakers have started to tighten up to reduce inflation.
