Update: Wow. Did they ever. Check out the G7 moves here ...

Currency traders are awaiting an emergency teleconference of G-7 ministersand central bankers later today, and the big question is whether they will act together to weaken the yen, or whether Japan will go it alone.

G7 to Tackle Yen's Surge

"It is in all of the G-7's interest to stabilize the Japanese markets," she told CNBC's David Faber. Take a look at the interview, starting at 2:34.
