LIMASSOL, Cyprus, Aug. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Japanese yen remains a widely discussed currency following a coordinated, record-setting US-Japan intervention that began on 30 July. Before the intervention, USD/JPY was trading near 164 – a 40-year low for the yen. To shield the bond market from a sell-off, the US Treasury financed its share by selling euros from reserves to buy yen. FP Markets Chief Market Analyst Aaron Hill commented: ‘To prevent the yen from weakening further, intervention alone is unlikely to be sufficient. FP Markets’ regulatory presence includes the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in the Seychelles, the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) of South Africa, and the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) of Kenya.
