Japan's Ministry of Finance published daily records for April-June 2026 currency operations, showing that the government and the Bank of Japan carried out yen-buying, dollar-selling interventions on April 30, May 4 and May 6 totaling ¥11.73 trillion. The largest move came on April 30 at ¥6.28 trillion, topping the previous single-day record of ¥5.92 trillion set on April 29, 2024. The interventions were concentrated during Golden Week, when thin trading (low market liquidity) can amplify price moves, as authorities sought to arrest rapid yen depreciation and dollar gains linked to Middle East-driven market turmoil. The newly released breakdown also showed a ¥780.2 billion intervention on May 4 and a ¥4.68 trillion operation on May 6. Officials had previously avoided clearly saying whether intervention had occurred, and the quarterly disclosure now confirms the full scale of the response. Investors are watching whether such large operations can produce a lasting yen rebound, though observers say the longer-term impact will depend on Japan-U.S. interest rate differentials and underlying economic trends.
