Bessent: Tiny Treasury Outlay Aimed at Backing Japan Policies

I read Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's remarks as a positive sign for USD/JPY, everything else being equal.
The photo he shared, clearly set up, and his increasingly stern language appear more like verbal intervention than a serious push. His mention of a 'nominal' amount (with $5-10 billion on display) and 'signaling support' suggests no full-scale effort—comparable to the US supplying rebels with rifles and ammunition instead of deploying ground forces.
The dollar-yen pair has advanced 75 pips on the day to 155.09, a nine-day peak.
