Figure Heloc 
This is scheduled to begin on 26 March, so the Japanese government is mainly offering confirmation on the total figure. As a reminder, Japan had already released about 15 days’ worth of reserves from the private sector on 16 March. So, this just adds to that and the total will be roughly 80 million barrels.And all of this also ties together with the IEA coordination to release a total of 400 million barrels globally.The Japanese government confirms that the crude oil reserves release here will be from 11 locations nationwide.As another reminder, Japan has a massive buffer in terms of oil in its reserve capacity heading into this crisis. They had around 254 days’ worth of oil and such a buffer looks to be well warranted in this kind of scenario now. But as a separate reminder, the IEA coordination rule does require countries to maintain a minimum of 90 days of net oil imports as emergency reserves.

💡 DMK Insight
Japan’s upcoming confirmation on reserve figures is crucial for traders, especially with the recent release of 15 days’ worth of reserves from the private sector. This move indicates a proactive approach by the Japanese government in managing liquidity, which could influence the yen’s strength against major currencies. Traders should be aware that such actions often lead to volatility in forex markets, particularly if the figures deviate from expectations. If the total reserves confirmed on March 26 exceed market predictions, we might see a bullish reaction in the yen, while a lower figure could trigger a sell-off. Keep an eye on correlated assets like USD/JPY and consider how this could impact broader market sentiment, especially in light of ongoing global economic uncertainties. Watch for any shifts in trading volume or sentiment leading up to the announcement, as these could provide early signals of market direction.
📮 Takeaway
Monitor the March 26 reserve confirmation closely; a deviation from expectations could significantly impact USD/JPY and overall forex volatility.
