The US and Japan coordinated to intervene in currency markets and prop up the yen after it hit a 40-year low. This is the first joint intervention between the two countries since 2011, and it signals real concern about market instability. When two major economies have to work together to stabilize a currency, it means the underlying problems are bigger than normal market noise. The yen's weakness reflects deeper issues: Japan's stagnant growth, capital flight, and broader questions about currency values in a volatile geopolitical moment.
