On with the Japanese Yen"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today marks the end of the second quarter \u2013 and what a quarter it\u2019s been!&nbsp; We\u2019ll do a more substantial review of the phenomenal move in global equities overall, and tech stocks specifically, tomorrow after the final results are in.&nbsp; For today, I\u2019d like to focus on a particular casualty of the recent secular move in the US dollar: the Japanese yen (JPY) and its ramifications for US stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">JPY is now trading at 162.5, definitively above the 160 level that has concerned monetary authorities in Japan for some time.&nbsp; In fact, this is the weakest level for that currency <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/money\/markets\/japanese-yen-sinks-to-weakest-level-since-1986-keeping-intervention-risks-in-focus\/ar-AA26PPO3?ocid=BingNewsSerp\">against the USD since 1986<\/a>.&nbsp; (Remember that the JPY quotes in that format represent yen per dollar; thus, a higher number means a weaker yen because each dollar buys more.)&nbsp; Remember, in those days, Japan was ascendant, with huge global exports and management successes leading their stock market and real estate prices to hit long-term secular highs.&nbsp; Japan was HOT, though it eventually gave rise to a bubble economy in the ensuing years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coincidentally, I did a summer semester in Japan that year.&nbsp; I had accepted a full-time job offer at Salomon Brothers that was supposed to start in August, but they let me defer it until January because they thought it would be worthwhile to continue my education in one of the most desirable business climates in the world.&nbsp; (The rest of the deferred time was spent backpacking through Asia and Oceania, which happened to prove more useful in the early part of my career.)&nbsp; I remember thinking that Japan was quite expensive at the time because the yen had appreciated rapidly.&nbsp; It zoomed from roughly 250 in June 1985 to about 164 when I arrived.&nbsp; For contrast, my son lived and worked in Japan for a few years, during which time the yen traded between 100\u2013115 quite consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are several reasons for the JPY weakness.&nbsp; Some are secular, such as the US dollar\u2019s overall strength and Japan\u2019s aging population.&nbsp; Others are timelier, including Prime Minister Takaichi\u2019s somewhat mixed messages about a weaker currency.&nbsp; She understands both the yen\u2019s role in bolstering Japan\u2019s export economy but also recognizes that a weaker yen risks importing inflationary pressures.&nbsp; This will require a delicate balancing act for her administration and the Bank of Japan.&nbsp; For now, currency traders are assuming that the balance will tip towards a weaker JPY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That weaker JPY could be abetting the risk-on mood in global markets.&nbsp; Remember the \u201ccarry trade,\u201d where leveraged investors borrow money in a low-yielding currency and invest it in higher-yielding assets.&nbsp; Those can be in fixed income, such as in higher-rate US Treasuries, or in stocks that have shown positive momentum.&nbsp; It is difficult to quantify how much the falling JPY has abetted global stocks, but it clearly has done so.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That points out a risk to broader markets.&nbsp; If the BOJ intervenes or raises rates, that could jolt carry traders.&nbsp; Of course, if they are forced out of leveraged positions, that would pressure the assets that have benefited from those borrowed funds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The party can continue for quite some time if the current trends in stocks and\/or JPY continue.&nbsp; Momentum rules in this market, and it has emboldened many traders to assume as much risk as they can handle.&nbsp; We see that in the popularity of leveraged ETFs, among other things.&nbsp; But the more that we embrace leverage, whether through the carry trade or simply through aggressive investments, the more fragile the market can become.&nbsp; The trend has been, and generally remains, a great friend.&nbsp; Just don\u2019t get too carried away with the friendship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>JPY\/USD Since 1970<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
