Japan and the United States confirmed a rare, coordinated currency market intervention on Monday to halt the Japanese yen's slide to 40-year lows. Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama prepared statements confirming that Tokyo and Washington cooperated in currency markets to curb record lows, marking the first joint intervention since 2011. U.S. President Donald Trump publicly stated that Washington assisted in propping up the Japanese currency as a sign of friendship and to support the broader global economy. The intervention triggered an immediate surge in the yen, leaving international currency traders on high alert for further authorized market maneuvers.
