post: US BOOSTS APRIL-JUNE BORROWING EST. TO $243B FROM $202B post: US Treasury Says April-June Borrowing Estimate Assumes End-June Cash Balance of $750 Billion US Treasury Expects to Borrow $847 Billion in July-September Quarter, Assuming End-September Cash Balance of $850 BillionTreasury Announces Marketable Borrowing Estimates The U.S. Department of the Treasury today announced its current estimates of privately-held net marketable borrowing[1] for the April – June 2024 and July – September 2024 quarters. During the April – June 2024 quarter, Treasury expects to borrow $243 billion in privately-held net marketable debt, assuming an end-of-June cash balance of $750 billion.[2] The borrowing estimate is $41 billion higher than announced in January 2024, largely due to lower cash receipts, partially offset by a higher beginning of quarter cash balance.[3] During the July – September 2024 quarter, Treasury expects to borrow $847 billion in privately-held net marketable debt, assuming an end-of-September cash balance of $850 billion. During the January – March 2024 quarter, Treasury borrowed $748 billion in privately-held net marketable debt and ended the quarter with a cash balance of $775 billion. In January 2024, Treasury estimated borrowing of $760 billion and assumed an end-of-March cash balance of $750 billion. Privately-held net marketable borrowing was $12 billion lower largely because higher cash receipts and lower outlays were partially offset by a $25 billion higher ending cash balance. Additional financing details relating to Treasury’s Quarterly Refunding will be released at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, May 1, 2024.

A couple of quick moves and the pair is dragged back down on the day: chart USD/JPY 1-minute chart. I had a whole post lined up about how Tokyo had every reason to step in but they didn't earlier. So far, the drop is still seeing a couple of volatile pushes up and down when you drill down to the minute chart. It is not quite one with extreme force. As such, I'm inclined to say that this isn't a move by Tokyo to step in. But rather, exacerbated flows making its way through some stop orders. The pair now dips to 157.80 before being bought back up again to 158.20 in quick succession. post: AND USDJPY FALLS BACK DOWN TO ERASE 2HRS OF GAIN pic.twitter.com/lsojAG8qc5 USD/JPY drop gathers pace, now down to 157.21 on the day BOJ intervention in play? chart Now, this is starting to look a bit more forceful. The 150-pip decline earlier still had some semblance of the move that we saw on Friday last week. But now, the drop in USD/JPY is starting to look more forceful and convincing. If anything, we might have finally hit the nerve and Tokyo are responding in due kind. USD/JPY now down to 156.85 as I update the post. The question now is how long can Tokyo keep this up for as they look to draw a hard line on the yen fall? The big problem for Japanese officials is that they don't have the fundamental narrative on their side. post: USD/JPY Extends Decline, Falls 1.1% to Day’s Low at 156.60

I'm sure you've already seen what's happened overnight in the USD/JPY. Prior to the suspected intervention by the Japanese finance ministry/BoJ, the USD/JPY had initially surged some 500 pips from its low point on Friday to rise above 160.00, before dropping more than 500 pips to below 155.00 and then bouncing back. So, it's been a very volatile session, ...
