Yellen: Rare FX Interventions Needed, Monitors Major Currencies, Criticizes China

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen recently emphasized the importance of rare and well-communicated interventions in the foreign exchange market to stabilize the economy, specifically mentioning she watches currencies like USD, EUR, JPY, and CNY. She highlighted that such interventions should only occur in response to 'excess moves' to manage volatility. Additionally, Yellen criticized China's trade practices, stating they are 'not really playing by the rules,' and expressed concerns over U.S. dependency on China in key industries. She advocated for targeted measures against China rather than broad-based actions and emphasized using tax revenues to reduce the national deficit. Yellen also noted the importance of maintaining economic engagement with China, despite these challenges.
