Japan's Ministry of Finance is moving away from advance warnings of FX intervention and toward sudden, targeted operations to punish speculative yen shorts and raise the cost of betting against the currency, people familiar with the matter said. Officials are avoiding public 'line-in-the-sand' exchange-rate thresholds, increasing the risk of abrupt intervention prompted by the buildup of speculative short positions rather than by breaches of publicly cited levels. The MOF's approach, together with sustained hawkish rhetoric from the Bank of Japan, suggests coordinated action to deter yen shorting.

Canada plans to jointly announce about 10 founding members of a proposed Global Defence Bank at next week’s NATO summit in Turkey, Canada’s chief negotiator said. Prime Minister CARNEY is pushing to establish a Defence, Security and Resilience Bank (DSRB) as part of a push this year to build a middle-power alliance. “We are using the NATO summit as the deadline… we intend to announce the list of founding members,” said Isabelle Houghton, chief negotiator and CEO of the Business Development Bank of Canada. The bank aims to raise up to £100bn ($133bn) of low-cost financing to bolster allies’ defence. Houghton said the inaugural members will likely be European states but declined to name them.
