Japan and the U.S. conducted their first joint yen-buying operation since 1998 late last month, with Japan spending around $75 billion and the U.S. adding $5-10 billion after the yen hit a 40-year low near 164. On August 10, the yen weakened about 1% to 159.35, prompting analysts to question the intervention's lasting impact amid a wide U.S.-Japan interest rate gap.
