FX Intervention Research Institute (FXIR)
Key findings (as of 2026-08-08)
Across six yen-buying episodes (2022–2026), the effect half-life — business days until the close first recovers the 50% line — was 1, 5, 15, 431 and 5 days (E6 ongoing, right-censored), with no clear relation to amounts spent. We model intervention as a two-layer reaction function: activation (weeks–months) vs execution (minutes–hours). Rate checks show an evidence asymmetry: Japanese-side actions stay UNVERIFIED under the current disclosure regime, while US-side actions become FACT via FOMC minutes. In the E6 week, the FIMA repo facility was not used (Fed H.4.1 total repos ≈ $1–3mn, an upper bound).
