Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin confirmed the U.S. would stick to pledges the Group of 20 nations hold regarding foreign-exchange markets, Finance Minister Taro Aso said.

"I had a fruitful discussion for the further development of a tie between Japan and the U.S.," Aso told reporters Friday in the German resort town of Baden-Baden, where G-20 finance chiefs and central bankers gathered over the weekend. "We agreed that it's important to stick with what the G-20 and G-7 have decided on the matter " of currencies.
