Trump Concerns Over Weak Yen Raise Possibility of More Joint Interventions -- Market Talk
Dow Jones2026/09/25 08:330833 GMT - Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama's remarks Friday about President Trump expressing concerns over the yen's weakness raises the prospect of further joint U.S.-Japanese currency interventions, MUFG Bank's Derek Halpenny says in a note. The comments underline Japan's ongoing efforts to portray that it remains willing to stem the yen's weakness as a continued joint strategy, he says. "It's unusual for the U.S. to act jointly with Japan beyond one occasion so acting jointly again would be a strong message to the markets." That is possible given the Bank of Japan raised interest rates last week and indicated there was more to come, he says. The dollar falls 0.5% to 158.07 yen after Katayama's comments.

Altman: Safety comes first, no IPO timetable, postponing the release of GPT-6.1 Astra out of extreme caution
OpenAI CEO Altman stated that the IPO may only be considered after the company gains a clearer understanding of how to safely manage the "next-level AI." The delay in launching GPT-6.1 Astra is because the model did not meet some of the company’s evaluation criteria for safety; this decision was made "out of an abundance of caution" rather than due to any major incident. He also noted that Nvidia’s safety systems for AI are not a "complete solution;" AI is more of a scientific problem than an engineering one.
