United States (US) Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed through a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the US and Japan took some actions together against excessive volatility in currency markets.
In my meeting with Minister @satsukikatayama, I was pleased to reaffirm the strong economic partnership between the United States and Japan. The level of communication and coordination between our teams in addressing undesirable, excess volatility in currency markets continues to be constant and robust. I congratulated the Minister on Japan’s strong economic resiliency, and we held positive discussions on the US-Japan investment agreement, our shared efforts on critical minerals, and the United States’ support for Japan as it works to build an investment screening mechanism."

The announcement resulted in a vertical rise in the Japanese Yen (JPY), which pushed USD/JPY lower to near 156.70. However, the pair has recovered a majority of losses and has bounced back to near 157.45, little far from its intraday high of 157.75.
