The dollar hit a 24-year peak against the yen and reached new highs versus the Australian and New Zealand dollars on Wednesday after US economic data reinforced the view that the Federal Reserve will continue aggressive policy tightening.

The euro continued to languish not far from Tuesday’s two-decade low, well below parity, as European Union ministers prepare to meet this week to discuss the energy crisis that is hammering industry and squeezing households.

Japanese Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki said on Tuesday that the recent market volatility was high and that authorities are watching the yen with a great sense of urgency.Some analysts have said the fact that Suzuki has not reiterated the strong language used in July, when he said he was “concerned” after the yen fell beyond 139 to the dollar, suggested intervention in the currency market may not be imminent.

Takebe added that there could be some defense at the 145 yen per dollar level because it is likely that a considerable amount of knockout triggers for domestic financial institutions’ structured bonds are stacked up at that level.The European Central Bank is seen likely to deliver a 75 bps rate hike on Thursday, but traders seem more focused on Russia’s decision to keep the key Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline shut indefinitely.
