"The government is watching market developments very carefully. We're ready to take necessary action against excess volatility, without ruling out any options," he added. "Even if that's not the case, if we see one-sided moves accumulate into very big moves in a certain period of time, that's also excess volatility," he said. He declined to comment on whether the overnight yen moves were excessive.

Tokyo last intervened to buy yen in September and October last year, when the Japanese currency eventually slumped to a 32-year low of 151.94 per dollar.
