In the context of an operation to support the dollar's value against another currency, the foreign currencies that are used to intervene have historically come equally from foreign exchange reserves held in the SOMA portfolio and the ESF.

These holdings currently are in euros and Japanese yen. Interventions have historically been coordinated with other central banks, especially those that issue the currency or currencies involved in the intervention. Separate from interventions, the Desk also provides FX transaction services to three primary sets of customers: the United States government and its agencies as fiscal agentforeign central banks and monetary authorities that hold accounts with the New York Fed, and the Federal Reserve System.

FX transactions for the United States government and its foreign exchange operations typically facilitate foreign-currency-denominated payments. These foreign exchange operations typically make up the majority of the Desk's FX trading volume. Foreign central banks that hold accounts at the New York Fed also regularly request FX transactions. Occasionally, the Desk also facilitates certain foreign-currency-denominated payments for the Board of Governors or other Federal Reserve Banks, foreign exchange operations.
