A Reuters report has revealed that US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's 'to-do list' reportedly included plans for potential US purchases of $5-10 billion worth of Japanese yen. The list was reportedly exposed during President Donald Trump's Cabinet meeting at Camp David after Reuters published a photograph taken during the session. The revelation comes amid reports that the US Treasury informed several banks it could intervene in the yen market to help prop up Japan's currency. The developments follow Japan's own efforts to support the yen after it plunged to a 40-year low below 163 per US dollar in July.
