It's estimated that BoJ bought as much as $25 billion of yen today. The ECB, BOE, German Bundesbank, Bank of France, Bank of Italy confirmed their participation in the intervention. In joint statement after a 90 minutes teleconference, G7 leaders pledged to "provide any needed cooperation" with Japan.

The ministry sold yen through BoJ for the first time since September and pushed USD/JPY through 81 level.
