TOKYO -- The yen's deprecation was halted after a rare meeting of Japan's top financial authorities raised concerns among market players that Tokyo might intervene as it did in a remarkable move last year.

The meeting between the officials from the Finance Ministry, the Financial Services Agency and the Bank of Japan on Tuesday evening was the first since March, when the global financial system was jolted by the U.S. regional banking crisis that saw the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank.
