TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso said on Tuesday that he would take "various steps" against excessive currency moves, while declining to comment on the possibility of intervention to stem a rise in the yen.
"Rapid currency moves, whether up or down, are unwelcome and stable currencies are most desirable," Aso told reporters after a cabinet meeting.
"We will take various measures against a rapid yen rise or fall."
