Asia currency moves: Japan's record yen spend, rupee rally, China dollar deposits
WSJ reports Japan spent a record $50 billion in one day on the yen, while Reuters covers the rupee's rally and Chinese banks raising dollar deposit rates.
What happened
Several currency stories are drawing attention in Asia. The Wall Street Journal reports that Japan spent a record $50 billion in a single day to support the yen.
Reuters reports that the Indian rupee extended its rally, which puts the dollar-buying threshold of the Reserve Bank of India in focus. Another Reuters piece says the rupee is tracking volatility tied to AI and oil, with inflation data seen as the next test for bonds.
In an exclusive, Reuters cites sources saying Chinese banks have raised dollar deposit rates as Beijing seeks to smooth a rally in the yuan.
Context
Central banks and state-linked lenders sometimes act in currency markets to limit sharp moves in their exchange rates.
Why it matters
The reported actions in Japan, India and China show how authorities in major Asian economies are handling currency swings, which can matter for companies and investors exposed to these markets.
