Japanese Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki said on Friday he told his G20 counterparts that Tokyo may need to take 'appropriate action' in the exchange-rate market as global monetary tightening could heighten volatility in currency moves.

"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.
