Possible scenario
Verbal Coordination Holds
45% Chance
Japan's Ministry of Finance and the U.S. Treasury keep the response at the level of coordinated messaging, warning against excessive yen volatility without announcing new dollar sales. This is the most likely near-term outcome because the two governments already intervened in August and may prefer to conserve credibility unless USD/JPY breaks materially higher.
