Key Quotes
“Yen weakness has been broad-based since the announcements earlier this month that the BoJ will accelerate already aggressive monetary easing and that the GPIF will more actively diversify its portfolio allocation into higher risk assets.”
“As a result the BoJ’s measure of the nominal trade-weighted yen has declined by a further 4% in November to date leaving it only around 6% above the pre-global financial crisis low from mid-2007.”
