Oil prices tumble after Trump‑Japan yen intervention

Oil prices tumble after Trump‑Japan yen intervention

The coordinated move, the first of its kind between the United States and Japan, saw the dollar‑yen pair plunge below 130, easing concerns over a strengthening dollar that had been propping up crude prices.

Brent crude slipped $4.20 per barrel, while analysts warned that further interventions could increase volatility in the oil market, especially as the Middle‑East conflict continues to tighten supply.
