• Important for currencies to move stably reflecting economic fundamentals
• Not focusing on any forex levels specifically
• Closely watching forex moves, will respond appropriately if necessary

Kanda also says that officials did discuss other issues such as the US debt ceiling as well. USD/JPY is now back up to 140.45 from around 140.25 earlier before he spoke.
