FT: Statele Unite au vândut euro pentru a susține yenul japonez fără să informeze BCE. „Așa ceva nu s-a mai întâmplat niciodată” - Economica.net

The recent sale of euros by the U.S. to support the yen surprised the European Central Bank, which was informed post-transaction. This unprecedented action highlights a lack of coordination in Western monetary cooperation. Officials expressed concerns that this could jeopardize decades of trust and collaboration among central banks. The U.S. opted for euros to avoid perceptions of weakening the dollar, while Japan reportedly spent significant amounts to stabilize its currency. The interventions led to a temporary appreciation of the yen, although it later depreciated again.
