Ulrich Leuchtmann, Head of FX and Commodity Research at Commerzbank, analyzes the Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) strategy and its implications for the Yen (JPY).
It seems quite difficult to understand why the Japanese are objecting to a weak Yen. The BoJ is pursuing an ultra-expansionary monetary policy, so does everything to push inflation up (or to be precise: to prevent the expected fall in inflation to below the 2% target). A weak JPY would be very helpful to reach this target because it would increase import prices.
Of course, the desired inflationary effect and the positive economic effect are set off against a negative wealth effect. However, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If inflationing really was being taken seriously Japanese institutions would probably be willing to pay this price.
And so to some extent what Japan has often been accused of: inflationing has failed for approx. 30 years now because it is not taken seriously enough. I can only hope that this lack of consistency will not have the opposite effect one day: that it will turn into high inflation levels that are difficult to control, into a crisis of national finances and in explicit Yen weakness to an extent that will make the current Yen exchange rates seem like a walk in the park.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
