AUD/JPY Under Pressure as Yen Interventions Fuel Volatility
The Australian Dollar (AUD) vs Yen (JPY) currency pair is trading at ¥111.52, down by 0.80% on the day and below its key moving averages.
A joint intervention between Japan's Ministry of Finance and the United States in August 2026 resulted in a record $79.6 billion decline in Japan's foreign exchange reserves, as reported by Cryptobriefing.
The aggressive yen-buying interventions, totaling ¥15.4 trillion from July 30 to August 26, 2026, have amplified support for the yen and contributed to the current pressure on the AUD/JPY pair.
