Yen strengthens amid intervention talks

"KRW, JPY main beneficiaries since Friday as US/Japan discuss coordinated intervention."

"A Plaza like Mar-a-Lago accord has previously been touted to realign (devalue) the dollar (expensive, deficit) against Asian currencies (cheap, surplus recycling) but previously met international opposition and lacked a coherent strategy."

"It is unclear if that changed on Friday and whether the rebound in the Yen is the prelude of a deeper realignment from cheap levels and reconvergence with UST/JGB bond spreads."
