Treasury Warns Banks It Might Intervene in Dollar-Yen Exchange Rate
The U.S. Treasury Department has informed banks that it might make currency trades on Friday to support the Japanese yen and strengthen its exchange rate against the dollar, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The message was delivered by the Treasury to major banks on Friday via the New York Fed, which acts as the Treasury’s agent for trades in financial markets. Some banks were told to have executable trades ready to exchange Japanese yen for euros, according to people familiar with the matter. The U.S. holds some of its foreign-currency reserves in euros.
