El ministro de finanzas de Japón afirmó que está coordinando la política cambiaria con Bessent.

Golden Finance report, May 12th, Japanese Finance Minister Katayama Satsuki stated that after her meeting with U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen in Tokyo, her team is engaging in smooth cooperation with the U.S. side in the field of foreign exchange policy. Katayama said she would not comment on Yellen’s specific remarks. This is Yellen’s third visit to Japan since taking office. The market is closely watching this meeting because it has been less than two weeks since Tokyo authorities took a series of large-scale yen interventions to boost the yen exchange rate, which lasted several days. Yellen previously hinted that she was critical of direct market intervention and preferred to support the yen by tightening monetary policy through the Bank of Japan. Japanese authorities may have first intervened on April 30th, when the Bank of Japan maintained its policy unchanged, combined with hawkish signals from the Federal Reserve, jointly pushing the USD/JPY exchange rate above the 160 level. Data analysis shows that Japanese authorities may have used about 24.7 billion USD in this operation, and then added about 30 billion USD in subsequent interventions. Katayama stated that she also discussed topics such as artificial intelligence and critical minerals with Yellen. (Jin10)
