Japan shifts to ambush intervention tactics against yen short sellers, sources say
Japan's finance ministry is shifting tactics, abandoning public warnings about currency intervention. Officials now aim to surprise speculators by intervening abruptly to support the weakening yen, a move designed to increase the cost of betting against the currency. This strategy, coupled with the Bank of Japan's hawkish stance, signals a coordinated effort to curb excessive yen depreciation and manage inflation.
