BOJ supplies $1.47bn after Brexit vote, largest amount since Dec 2014

As Nikkei reports, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) on Tuesday conducted its first auction for dollar-supplying operations since the UK voted to leave the European Union in last Thursday's referendum, attracting bids for the total $1.47 billion offered -- the largest amount since December 24, 2014, when there were $1.52 billion in bids.

Financial institutions have growing demand for dollars in the wake of the turmoil in the financial markets.
