USD/JPY steps back from above 150 as BOJ warns on unwanted FX moves

Yesterday the better than expected US data helped the USD/JPY to eventually lift above 150. That move was covered here at the time and later in the session the dollar pushed on, to reach a new session and interim high, at 150.32. The USD/JPY later closed in the US at 150.21. However, it has fallen back so far today, hitting a session low a short while ago, at 149.77. The reason for that is once again due to some timely comments from Japanese officials warning on the exchange rate. Perhaps it should come as no surprise to see the BOJ jawboning again as the dollar recovers the 150 handle once more. The USD/JPY is currently trading at 149.84
