risk aversion and Japanese repatriation of investment funds
• USD/THB remained near 30.40 on the back of short-term unwinding of banks’ long-position in
USD/THB. The baht may weaken today in line with other regional currencies such as the TWD,

Economic News Update
Noda Says Markets Are Nervous, Bank of
Japan Injects Liquidity: Japan’s Finance Minister
Yoshihiko Noda said that markets are nervous as the yen
reached its strongest level in the postwar era, while the
central bank pumped 5 trillion yen ($63 billion) into money
markets.
Noda declined to comment on whether the ministry would
order the Bank of Japan to intervene in the foreign-
exchange markets, after the yen climbed as high as 76.36
per dollar. The currency rose amid speculation Japanese
investors will repatriate assets as the costs of the March 11
earthquake and tsunami escalate. The Nikkei 225 Stock
Average slid 4 percent as of 9:45 a.m.
Policy makers have so far focused on offering intraday
cash to banks, with the central bank limiting its additional
monetary stimulus three days ago to 5 trillion yen, an
amount about one- tenth the size of the U.S. Federal
Reserve’s quantitative easing. A government official
speaking on condition of anonymity said that local
institutional investors have abundant yen, and that
repatriation wasn’t significant after the 1995 Kobe
earthquake.
“With Japan facing a difficult situation, the yen’s rapid
advance could damp its economy further, which is not good
for the global economy,” said Masafumi Yamamoto, chief
currency strategist at Barclays Bank Plc in Tokyo, saying
it’s possible the Group of Seven could mount joint
intervention to sell yen.
Japan’s currency was at 79.35 per dollar as of 9:55 a.m. in
Tokyo, retreating from the high reached earlier today. The
rout in the equity market has brought the Nikkei 255’s
losses to 16 percent since the magnitude-9 earthquake and
ensuing tsunami devastated northeast Japan and crippled
the cooling systems at a nuclear power plant.
The government is still struggling to get the Fukushima
Dai-Ichi nuclear facility under control, with helicopters
dropping water on the plant in an effort to prevent a
meltdown.
A stronger exchange rate threatens to add an additional
burden to a Japanese economy that will already suffer from
the damage wrought by the most powerful temblor to strike
the nation. Companies from Toyota Motor Co. to Sony
Corp. shut down factories in the aftermath, and gains in the
yen would erode their export earnings.
Japan’s exporters said they can remain profitable as long
as the yen trades at 86.30 per dollar or weaker, compared
with the previous year’s breakeven point at 92.90, the
Cabinet Office said in an annual survey released on March
11. (Source: Bloomberg)
