"I told the G20 meeting we need to be mindful of the risk that market volatility could heighten, including in the currency market, as monetary tightening continues globally," Suzuki told a news conference after attending a meeting of Group of 20 finance ministers and central bank governors. The dollar fetched 149.53 yen on Friday, not far from the 150 mark seen by traders as Tokyo's line-in-the-sand for currency intervention.
A weak yen boosts Japanese exports, but also pushes up the cost of importing fuel and raw materials, giving Tokyo policy makers a headache. Japan last intervened in the currency market to prop up the yen in September and October last year.
