Earlier post is here on what was ahead for Friday:

Now Suzuki weighing in:

  • FX stability important, sharp volatility undesirable
  • will continue to scrutinise FX moves, including recent yen falls, and their impact on japan's economy
  • govt will keep eye out on japan's current account balance, as change in its trend could happen
  • Japan's current account deficit is due more to rising raw material prices rather than weak yen
