## Recent evidence

- [confirms] United States Treasury Buys Yen With Japan to Halt a 40-Year Low, Its First Such Intervention in Over a Decade (2026-08-02): The New York Fed sold euros for yen through Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley in the first US-side yen intervention in over a decade, pushing the yen up as much as 3.6% before it gave back most of the gain (NYT). The reversion validates the thesis that intervention treats the symptom while the underlying rate divergence persists, guaranteeing repeat operations.
