United States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Japan officials reaffirmed on Tuesday that excess currency volatility is undesirable. The coordination follows a USD/JPY surge to 157.72 before a sudden drop to 156.75 stoked intervention speculation. This alignment signals Washington's tacit approval for Tokyo to prop up the yen against rising import costs.
