Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen spoke from a new conference Brazil, where she is attending a meeting with central bankers and finance ministers from Group of 20 nations.
Yellen was answering questions re Trump’s comments in a Bloomberg interview on a “big currency problem” with the dollar.
Yellen reiterated that the US is in agreement with Group of Seven nations backing market-set FX rates. FX interventions should only take place in situations of excess volatility, and in consultation with partners. (Thats a really ‘in a nutshell’ view, its all about extreme departure from ‘fundamentals, excess speculation and such).
