TOKYO, June 4 (Reuters) - Japan's foreign exchange market intervention in late April and early May had a certain impact, Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki said on Tuesday.
Japanese authorities spent 9.79 trillion yen ($62.2 billion) intervening in the market to support the yen over the past month, Ministry of Finance data released on Friday showed.
The intervention was conducted to address excessive moves in the currency market, Suzuki said, speaking at a regular post-cabinet meeting news conference. (Reporting by Makiko Yamazaki; Editing by Jacqueline Wong)
