Japanese economic minister Ishihara on Reuters 29 July

Speaking through clenched teeth no doubt.

  • govt vows to "deploy all necessary policy steps" and to co-operate with the BOJ

USDJPY up a tad at 103.21

Update : Reuters now out with an advisory header " Alerts on Japanese econ min Ishihara were sent in error and are withdrawn"

Strange. I'll post any update. Maybe they had access to a statement that wasn't yet due for publication.
