Bank of Japan's Harada still jawboning to reporters in Tokyo

  • can not say whether or not yen gains are in line with fundamentals
  • negative interest rates will benefit companies that take a proactive business stance
  • can not say whether or not risks to outlook have materialized here

"Can not say" today's phrase de jour.

USDJPY still 108.97 with 109.00 offers still capping for the moment.
