The yen rose for the first time in five sessions, moving away from the psychological level of 150 per dollar, as repeated verbal warnings by Japanese authorities over the currency's weakness spurred intervention fears.
USD/JPY fell 0.2% to 149.39, retreating from a 11-month high of 149.71 touched in the previous session. Japan's Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki said authorities will take appropriate responses if there are excessive currency moves. This marked the third straight day of warnings by Suzuki about the foreign-exchange moves.
