USD/JPY intervention news: how to verify the dated exchange rate

When the Japanese Ministry of Finance or the US Treasury makes a public statement about the yen or an FX intervention, news headlines move fast. FXpeek does not predict or confirm interventions. This page shows the dated reference rates and official sources you can use to check a reported USD/JPY level against reproducible historical data.

Evidence status

Reference only. FXpeek does not confirm or deny that an intervention occurred; use the official statement and its date as the source of truth.

How to verify an intervention-related exchange rate

How do I verify the USD/JPY rate on the intervention date?Open the official MOF or BOJ statement, note the announcement date and time, then look up the USD/JPY reference rate for that business date on FXpeek and keep the source URL and retrieval time together.

Why is the official rate different from a headline quote?Headlines often show intraday or delayed quotes. FXpeek exposes the actual data date, so a weekend or statement-time rate stays auditable instead of being treated as an intraday print.

Is an FXpeek rate an official or settlement rate?No. FXpeek provides historical reference data with a source fingerprint; it is not the MOF, BOJ, or Fed settlement rate.

How do I document this for a report?Keep the official statement URL, the announcement date, the currency pair, the reference date, the FXpeek rate, the CSV/API link, and the retrieval time together.

Reference data only. Not a settlement, bank, or trading quote, and not confirmation of any official FX intervention.
