Multiple sources revealed that the ECB only learned of the US sale of euros to buy yen after the transaction was executed on Friday. One source said that ECB President Christine Lagarde and US Treasury Secretary Bessant spoke about the intervention on Saturday. This lack of coordination highlights the unusual nature of this first joint US-Japan action to boost the yen in nearly 30 years. Conventionally, the US uses the dollar in such operations. Sources indicated that some senior ECB officials considered the US decision to use euros in the transaction an unprecedented violation of long-standing cooperation practices between Western monetary authorities. A person familiar with the discussions within European policymakers said the euro sale, carried out by the New York Federal Reserve on behalf of the US Treasury, was "very striking" and "regrettable."
