Japan's top currency diplomat, Mimura, has announced that he will closely monitor the foreign exchange (FX) market, with a particular focus on speculative movements. This statement comes amid concerns about potential sharp devaluation of the Japanese yen.

Mimura's comments, made 48h later, suggest that Japan is prepared to take action if necessary to stabilize the yen.
