Monday, August 3, 2026
The U.S. dollar fell against the Japanese yen on Monday following confirmations from President Donald Trump and Japan's finance minister that both governments had conducted market interventions. The specific exchange rate movement and timing of the interventions were not detailed in available reports. Both officials confirmed their respective central banks had acted in currency markets, though neither disclosed the intervention amounts or methods used.
