Investing.com -- Coordinated currency intervention allows two or more governments to buy an under-pressure currency simultaneously, increasing market demand and signalling that several authorities are prepared to commit reserves, according to BofA Global Research. Japan and the U.S. carried out coordinated yen-buying intervention on July 31. The immediate objective is to push USD/JPY below 155, a level that became a perceived floor after earlier Japanese interventions failed to break it. FIMA permits foreign monetary authorities to exchange Treasury securities temporarily for dollars, reducing the need for outright bond sales.
