Japan signals unlimited yen defense as suspected interventions reached $67B recently, according to vice finance minister for international affairs Atsushi Mimura. The remarks precede a visit by United States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent starting Monday. Investors are weighing if Tokyo can shore up the currency alone or requires American backing for joint action.
