Global Macro Strategy Closing our USDJPY short CITI'S TAKE Giammarco MianiAC+44-20-7986-6316giammarco.miani@citi.com On 21-May-2026 we added a USDJPY short. We have been of the view thatthe backdrop remains negative for JPY, but that intervention likelihoodcould increase post-BoJ hike, and decided to position it. While there havebeen some intervention headlines (Bloomberg, 22 June), the MoF is yet tosend clear signals. This could be due to the fact that the last leg higher inUSDJPY has been in line with the broader post-FOMC USD rally and less JPYidiosyncratic, making intervention less likely to succeed and thus lessappealing. We had better timing on our first tactical USDJPY (01-Apr-2026),less so this time. The MoF can stay patient longer than we can remain short Adam PickettAC+44-20-7500-5777adam.pickett@citi.com Dirk WillerAC+1-212-723-1016dirk.willer@citi.com Charlie Massy-CollierAC+44-20-7986-2692charlie.massycollier@citi.com Alice ZhengAC+1-212-816-0382alice.zheng@citi.com Michael Alexeev+1-212-816-1167michael.alexeev@citi.com Alex SaundersAC+1-212-723-1058alexander.saunders@citi.com Vinh VoAC+44-20-75-086-717vinh.vo@citi.com Citi Global Macro Strategy+44-20-3569-4243globalmacrostrategy@citi.com See Appendix A-1 for Analyst Certification, Important Disclosures and Research Analyst Affiliations.
