The Japanese yen strengthened toward 155 per dollar on Monday, bringing its gains to about 5% over three sessions, after the Finance Ministry confirmed it carried out coordinated yen-buying operations with the US Treasury last week following the currency’s slide to 40-year lows. Japanese authorities also warned they stand ready to conduct additional coordinated interventions if needed, adding that they remain in close contact with their US counterparts. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also confirmed the joint action to counter disorderly moves in the yen, while President Donald Trump previously said the US joined last week’s coordinated intervention as a show of support for Japan and to help safeguard global economic stability. The yen had fallen to four-decade lows last month amid pressure from elevated energy costs, mounting fiscal concerns, and persistently wide interest rate differentials.
