According to Jinshi, U.S. President Donald Trump said the first coordinated U.S.-Japan intervention to buy yen was a "signal of friendship." Treasury Secretary Bessent said the Trump administration would honor its commitments to trusted partners. The report also said some observers believe the move reflects multiple U.S. interests beyond currency coordination, including support for Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s polling and an effort to push Japan to carry out a $550 billion investment plan in the United States. Bessent also voiced concern that Japanese policy could affect the U.S. Treasury market, with the 10-year Treasury yield hitting a new high on the same day as the yen intervention.
