美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特在坎普戴维举行的内阁会议期间，一份被记者拍摄到的便签纸显示其计划买入50亿至100亿美元的日元[1]。这份便签于周五当地时间上午11时33分被拍到，上面写有"购买日元（JPY）50亿至100亿美元"的字样[1]。
美国财政部早前已向银行通知可能对日元市场进行干预，该通知的时间比便签曝光早约两小时[1]。随后美元兑日元汇率出现回调，从周五美国东部时间下午4时14分的158.9跌至约下午5时的157.6，跌幅约0.8%[1]。美国上次对日元进行市场干预是在2011年与其他七国集团国家协调的行动[1]。
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's handwritten notes, photographed during a Cabinet meeting at Camp David, revealed a proposal to purchase between $5 billion and $10 billion of Japanese yen [1]. The notes, captured at 11:33 a.m. local time on Friday, contained the entry "Buy Japanese Yen (JPY) $5-10 bil" [1].
The Treasury Department had notified banks approximately two hours before the notes were disclosed of a potential intervention in the yen market [1]. The announcement appeared to have an immediate effect on currency valuations, with the dollar-to-yen exchange rate declining roughly 0.8 percent by approximately 5 p.m., falling from 158.9 at 4:14 p.m. Eastern Time to around 157.6 [1]. The last US intervention in the yen market occurred in 2011, when such action was coordinated with other Group of Seven nations [1].
