RIA: Russia and the United States are maintaining close contact on key G20 issues.

TD Securities' macro research team says a US-Japan joint FX intervention to support the yen appears likely. The team notes MIMURA repeatedly referenced the United States in a Wednesday interview, signaling an attempt to secure US agreement for bilateral action, which would be stronger than a unilateral intervention. TD Securities warns that in that scenario USD/JPY's decline could far exceed the roughly 5-yen move typical of past unilateral interventions. The firm views MIMURA's comments as a clear warning to yen speculators not to push USD/JPY below 163.
