Takaichi Warns Japan Is Ready to Act on Speculative Moves

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi sent a fresh warning to financial markets amid a weakening yen and surging bond yields, saying the government will be ready to take action.

“It is not for me as a prime minister to comment on matters that should be determined by the market, but we will take all necessary measures to address speculative and highly abnormal movements,” she said during a television debate among party leaders on Sunday.
