Japanese Yen Given Another Reprieve by G7, but Does that Keep the Yen Falling?
It is almost humorous to see the ‘interpretations’ of the G7 meetings by different policy officials. From Japan, the assessment was that there was no concern raised about the level of the Japanese yen and global leaders were implicitly supportive of the country’s efforts to this point to ‘beat deflation’. However, according to German Finance Minister Schaeuble, there was an ‘intense’ discussion on the matter. What matters to the yen and other currencies engaged in the unnamed FX war (or ‘competitive devaluation’ if we want to avoid the full term) is what actions are taken to interrupt the current policy. In this case, nothing changed. However, that doesn’t fundamentally alter the Japanese currency’s outlook. This currency is at the beck and call of risk trends. If risk slides, deleveraging overextended and underfunded carry trades will follow quickly.
