  • The U.S. dollar slid from above 163 yen to around 156 after Washington and Tokyo confirmed joint intervention.
  • Japan is trying to curb the yen’s inflationary weakness, while the U.S. also sees economic and trade benefits.
  • Tokyo plans to use the Fed’s FIMA repo facility, avoiding Treasury sales that could disrupt U.S. funding markets.
  • The U.S.-Japan rate gap remains intact, meaning pressure on the yen could return despite the intervention.
