"Japan’s Mimura: markets shouldn’t forget intervention risks as USD/JPY nears 160."
"USD/JPY: 159.48 – 159.95 overnight range. Spot up to highest since 2 September before running into resistance near 160 on MoF FX intervention comments (Mimura). Support 158.70, resistance 160.90."
"European and US investors returning from the public holiday find the dollar broadening its CPI-driven gains and key technical levels coming under pressure across the majors. EUR/USD is trading with a 1.10 handle, USD/JPY is approaching 160, GBP/USD stumbled in the high 1.32s and AUD/USD must dig in to defend 0.68."
