Goldman Sachs says yen trading volumes skyrocketed to nearly ten times normal on Monday

  • GS says volumes were much larger than in previous intervention rounds

Goldman Sachs says that USD/JPY trading volume surged to almost nine times its typical level during Monday's suspected intervention by the Ministry of Finance.

I posted yesterday that we'll only get actual MoF numbers towards the end of May:

GS says prior intervention saw lower volumes transacted in USD/JPY.

If you check out the bounce in USD/JPY from its low on Monday this is perhaps because of all the BTD folks soaking it up! The yen weakness ain't over!
