  • Japanese Yen Recovers Losses After FX Intervention Amid Iran Conflict
    May 1, 2026, 8:16 AM EDT. The Japanese yen surged against the U.S. dollar on Friday after reports of intervention by Japanese authorities in the foreign exchange (FX) market. The intervention helped the yen recover losses made since the U.S.-Iran war started on Feb. 28, with the currency rising as much as 0.7% on Friday and over 3% on Thursday. Japanese officials, including Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama, indicated they were prepared for decisive market actions. Despite this, strategists caution that FX intervention alone may not fully calm market unease. Japan, heavily dependent on Middle Eastern oil, faces economic pressure from rising oil prices and bond yields hitting multi-decade highs due to inflation concerns. The continued geopolitical tension in the Middle East keeps markets wary of Japan's economic outlook.
