説明文:
On July 30, 2026, Japan intervened in the currency market to buy yen — before the Bank of Japan’s own policy meeting had even announced its decision. The yen jumped from the upper 162s to 157.98 against the dollar. Then came the bigger surprise: the US Treasury reportedly intervened too, selling euros to buy yen through the New York Fed — which would be Washington’s first yen-buying since 1998, twenty-eight years ago (the US action is based on press reports; neither government has officially confirmed intervening). This video explains how currency intervention actually works, why a food tax cut announced the same day matters to the yen, why the US may have joined, and the key frame: intervention doesn’t cure the causes of a weak yen — it buys time. The question is what gets done with that time.
