"The
pair slipped from 110.50 to a low of 109.95 after Japan PM Abe was
quoted in the Wall Street Journal saying “we must definitely avoid
competitive devaluation, and I think we should refrain from arbitrary
intervention in currency markets.”
This was the first time USD/JPY traded below 110 since Oct 2014 when the BoJ surprised markets with extra easing measures."
