日元周四再次走软至1美元兑156日元左右，此前一交易日因日本当局的另一次干预而飙升至1美元兑换153日元，这是本周第二次。日本政府拒绝证实是否是日元本周短暂反弹的幕后黑手，尽管高级货币外交官金田正人表示，他们将在下月底公布结果，并将根据需要在外汇市场采取适当行动。一份报告还建议，日本可能会通过税收优惠，鼓励企业将利润兑换成日元。今年迄今为止，日元兑美元下跌超过10%，因为日本央行将利率保持在超低水平，促使交易员借入日元并投资于收益率较高的货币。

The Japanese yen weakened again to around 156 per dollar on Thursday after surging to as high as 153 per dollar in the previous session on another suspected intervention by Japanese authorities, the second time this week. Japan’s government refused to confirm whether it was behind the short-lived rallies in the yen this week, although op currency diplomat Masato Kanda said they will disclose results at the end of next month and will take appropriate action in the FX market as needed. A report also suggested that Japan may introduce incentives for companies to convert profits into yen with tax breaks. The yen lost more than 10% against the dollar so far this year as the Bank of Japan kept interest rates ultra-low, prompting traders to borrow yen and invest in higher-yielding currencies.
