## Intelligence Brief
Forty years marks the low point the Japanese yen reached before prompting a rare, coordinated currency intervention by the United States and Japan. Following the joint action, the U.S. dollar weakened sharply against the Japanese yen as the yen leaped in market value. Outlets including Bloomberg.com note that strategists observed the U.S. using euros to buy yen to avoid a weaker dollar.


Coverage from outlets such as CNBC and CNN confirms that the U.S. Treasury worked together with Japan to support and stabilize the currency. Remarks from Trump noted that the U.S. backed the Japanese yen during this rare move.
