What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

The U.S. joined Japan in a coordinated yen-buying intervention after a substantial undervaluation to stabilize regional markets. Officials warned a weaker yen could trigger devaluations and volatility across Asia, including in South Korea and China. The move signals a policy path and may buoy risk appetite and multinational earnings, potentially lifting the S&P 500 in the near term if stability holds.
