Yen gains on potential Japan govt move for more flexible inflation target.
The yen climbed on Monday on news that the Japanese government could soon revise a joint statement with the Bank of Japan (BOJ) over the latter’s inflation target, potentially paving the way for a tweak in the BOJ’s ultra-loose monetary policy.
The yen was last 0.4% stronger at 136.19 per dollar, after jumping more than 0.5% to a high of 135.78 earlier in the session.
The Japanese government will consider revising next year a joint statement it signed with the BOJ in 2013 that commits the central bank to meeting a 2% inflation target as soon as possible, sources told Reuters.
