G7 Summit: Japan's Aso says he told US treasury sec Lew that recent FX market has shown rapid, one-sided moves

Japanese finance minister in earlier comments from Sendai 21 May 2016

– told Lew that FX stability is important

– no heated debate had with Lew

– told Lew that Japan will proceed with sales tax hike as scheduled

So does one assume that they wanted to intervene but had their knuckles rapped by G7?
