Aso comments impact on yen

Aso upstaged the BOJ Minutes release, getting in a couple of minutes prior. Aso is a character, isn’t he? Always has something to say.

His comments on the BOJ not buying foreign bonds and that he wasn’t considering changing the BOJ law rattled the weaker yen view. Having said this though, a 30-off point drop isn’t a lot in this environment.

There’s talk of stops below 93.50, but obviously there are buyers to be filled ahead of there.
