Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama said U.S. President Donald Trump directly expressed concerns about yen weakness during a meeting with Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi in New York this week. Katayama disclosed the discussion after a cabinet meeting on September 25 and said Japan would continue close coordination with the United States on exchange-rate matters. Dollar selling and yen buying later pushed dollar-yen briefly down to 158.11 yen in Tokyo afternoon trading, as momentum in the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield and crude oil prices stalled.
