Japan’s former PM Fumio Kishida says a joint US-Japan intervention has “supported the yen for now,” but is not a lasting game-changer for FX or Japan’s broader economy. The comment implies near-term yen support with limited expectations for sustained impact. Market implications are likely confined to FX sentiment rather than a durable macro shift.
