TOKYO (Reuters): Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso said on Thursday that volatility was high in financial markets and that he hoped markets would calm down.
Various factors are behind market moves including the US-China trade war, Aso told reporters after a cabinet meeting.
Aso also said there was no change to the government’s plan to raise the sales tax in October, when asked if recent bond yield moves could affect the plan.
