FXY's recent recovery is mainly driven by soft US economic outlook. The US trade war has weakened the US dollar, supporting the yen and FXY. The BOJ faces a balancing act: fighting inflation while avoiding recession that could stem from the US-Japan trade war -- putting on pause rate hikes in the near future.
Israel's airstrikes on Iran cause global market jitters, driving demand for safe-haven ETFs like GLD, TLT and UUP.
Japan's bond market is causing ripples across global financial markets, with rising long-dated government bond yields threatening to trigger capital flight from the United States and unwind the popular carry trade strategy. The carry trade is a strategy where investors borrow in low-yielding currencies like the yen to invest in higher-yielding assets abroad.

The Invesco CurrencyShares Japanese Yen Trust ETF provides exposure to the yen, which has been the worst performing G7 currency for several years. Recent changes in BoJ policies and currency interventions may signal a potential turnaround for the yen. USD/JPY has broken its trendline and a break back through 152 could signal a significant change in trend.
Japan's Ministry of Finance revealed that the country has conducted its first currency intervention since October 2022, aimed at stabilizing the yen following its decline to a 34-year low in April.
A weak yen is unlikely to end the positive momentum in Japanese equities. The drivers of the recent rally remain, so we stay overweight Japanese stocks.
The Japanese Yen has reached its lowest level since the 1980s, experiencing a significant devaluation trend. The Yen's devaluation to gold is more significant than its devaluation to the dollar, indicating potential economic and financial issues in Japan.
