  • Japan likely sold a record amount of foreign securities, including US Treasuries, to finance its recent currency intervention aimed at supporting the yen.
  • This action raises concerns in Washington regarding the impact on Treasury yields, especially with upcoming US midterm elections.
  • While Japan has alternative intervention methods like the FIMA Repo Facility, selling Treasuries remains a possibility, though it could attract US pressure.
