Hoa Kỳ và Nhật Bản can thiệp vào thị trường Yên lần đầu tiên trong gần 30 năm

The Huoxing Finance report states that on August 1, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bentsen’s notebook, during a Trump administration cabinet meeting at Camp David on Friday local time, was exposed, showing a to-do list item reading “Buy JPY $5-10 billion.” The photo was taken during the media-accessible portion of the meeting at 11:33 a.m. Eastern Time (11:33 p.m. Beijing Time). Bentsen’s name tag was clearly visible directly above the notebook. The U.S. Treasury spokesperson did not respond to requests for comment regarding the notebook’s contents or whether any intervention took place on Friday. According to the Financial Times of the UK, the U.S. Treasury intervened in the yen exchange rate on Friday local time, marking the first coordinated direct purchase operation to support the yen between the U.S. and Japan in nearly 30 years. Three informed sources revealed that the New York Fed, acting on behalf of the Treasury, executed an unusual operation—selling euros to buy yen—with two of these sources stating the trades were executed through Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. Prior to the action, the U.S. Treasury had informed multiple Wall Street banks that it was considering intervening in the yen. The last time the U.S. Treasury intervened to support the yen was in 2011, but at that time, the direction was to sell yen.
