Devisen: Trump bestätigt gemeinsame Intervention mit Japan zur Stützung des Yen
Die USA seien immer für Japan da, so US-Präsident Donald Trump über die neuen Maßnahmen. Der Yen war in den vergangenen Wochen massiv abgestürzt.
President Donald Trump confirmed on Sunday that the United States and Japan are planning a joint intervention on the foreign exchange market to support the yen. The tweet from the White House stated that the move was a sign of friendship. Trump told a reporter on board Air Force One that they are always there for Japan and that the action is good for the global economy, adding that the US gains financially from the agreement.
Following Trump's remarks, the dollar fell by 0.2 percent to 157.07 yen. Earlier, the dollar had surged to nearly 164 yen, the highest level in 1986. Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama reportedly announced the official collaboration between Tokyo and Washington the following Monday, as two familiar Japanese government representatives told Reuters that the two countries had already taken action last week to curb the currency's decline to a 40-year low.
