The governor appears to have adjusted the tone of his remarks on the yen after comments he made last month were deemed soft enough that currency traders continued to sell Japan’s currency, which at one point weakened beyond 160 per dollar for the first time in 34 years. The concerted effort by top financial authorities comes as the government is suspected of having intervened in the market twice last week to support the yen, action that came after Ueda refrained from sending strong hints of concerns about the yen at a post-meeting press briefing on April 26.Ueda’s dialogue Tuesday with Kishida took place only seven weeks after a discussion they held on March 19, an unusual degree of frequency that underscores growing concerns among the nation’s leaders.
