Summary

Japanese authorities have intervened to halt the yen’s slide. There’s fresh talk of another peace proposal in the Iran conflict, but the Strait of Hormuz is still shut. South Korean exports rise 48%, and New Zealand consumers see record-high inflation. In our deep-dive interview, ANZ Head of FX Research Mahjabeen Zaman looks at the chances of further intervention to stop the dollar rising beyond 160 yen, including the chances of bilateral intervention by both Japanese authorities and the Fed.
