Japan and U.S. Conduct Joint Intervention to Support Yen Amid 40-Year Lows
Japan and the United States conducted a rare coordinated intervention to support the yen, which had fallen to its lowest level in about 40 years. The joint yen-buying operation, the first since 2011, aims to stabilize the currency amid concerns over excessive volatility. Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama and U.S. Treasury officials confirmed ongoing cooperation and readiness for further action if needed. U.S. President Donald Trump described the move as a "signal of friendship" and emphasized support for Japan. Market reactions included a sudden yen appreciation and cautious trader sentiment about future interventions.
