Former head of Japan's foreign exchange industry: The yen may be undervalued by 20%, and short sellers still need to be wary of intervention risks.
According to Odaily Odaily, Tatsuo Yamazaki, former finance minister of Japan's Ministry of Finance and former head of Japan's foreign exchange policy, said in an interview on Monday that the yen should appreciate by up to 20% from its current level (about 130 yen to 1 US dollar), refuting those who bet on the yen potentially weakening further. Yamazaki stated, "This is no longer a fundamental issue, but rather a question of how market expectations will change. But we are approaching a climax." He believes that the current estimate of the yen being undervalued by 10% may be conservative. "I wouldn't be surprised if the yen rises to around 130. Frankly, that's my view." Meanwhile, Yamazaki suggested that the market should not mistake the recent apparent calm from Japanese authorities for complacency. He stated, "They have issued warnings, and anyone still holding short yen positions knows they face the risk of intervention and punishment—forced liquidation. The Ministry of Finance has gone beyond the warning stage; the authorities have indicated their willingness to take action." (Jinshi)
