In trading in Tokyo today, the Japanese Yen had small gains, but remained in striking distance of a 6-week low versus the U.S. Dollar, and a month-long low against the Euro. All this as investors continue to worry about the health of the Japanese economy. According to a foreign securities manager from Okasan Securities in Japan, very few investors are aggressively picking in the Japanese Yen, because most investors don’t find Japanese assets appealing right now. Any gains in the Yen is attributed to carry trade unwinding, where investors use lower yielding currencies to finance their purchase of assets and currencies elsewhere that are higher yielding.
