According to Bloomberg sources, the US Treasury may be using euros rather than dollars to purchase yen, a strategy that could help preserve dollar strength in foreign exchange markets. These interventions also extend to bond markets, where officials are implementing liquidity mechanisms to prevent market instability from spreading to US Treasury markets.
