🇰🇷 South Korea says current economic conditions differ from the 1997 Asian financial crisis, with USD liquidity remaining ample. Authorities are weighing measures to boost overnight FX market liquidity, while saying USD/KRW levels do not reflect economic fundamentals and confirming close coordination with Japan on foreign-exchange policy.
TD Securities says a joint US-Japan currency intervention to support the yen now looks increasingly likely.
The firm noted Japan's top currency official, MIMURA, repeatedly mentioned the US in a Wednesday interview, suggesting Tokyo is seeking Washington's backing for coordinated action.
According to TD Securities, a joint intervention would have a much bigger impact than Japan acting alone, with USD/JPY potentially falling by well over the typical 5-yen move seen in past interventions.
The firm also believes MIMURA's comments were a warning to currency traders against pushing USD/JPY beyond the 163 level.
