Japan warned of possible intervention in the foreign exchange market and ahead of an expected rate cut by the country’s central bank.

Go ahead, it is not illegal for BOJ or any other Central Bank to intervene, what is there to warn market players?

As a person in the export business, I think I speak for many others in Japan when I say

DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, we're a small fry overall, but the $250,000+ we were paying in taxes a few years back are going to be zero now, and that goes for every other company in our situation. No taxes means no money for roads to nowhere, dig??

“We will take appropriate measures, including currency intervention, at the appropriate time,”

The appropriate time was 1986.

Ministry of Finance does the intervention, not BOJ.
