Japanese Yen Rises in Currency Trading

Impending rate cuts support yen on the FX market
The Japanese yen is rising in currency trading on the FX market as risk aversion plays its part. With the ECB and the BoE set to lower rates this week, the carry trade is being shunned.

Additionally, the yen should receive support soon from the fact that the Australian and New Zealand central banks are expected to ease policy as well. This will further dilute demand for the risky carry trade.

Japanese officials are so concerned about the yen in currency trading that they are planning to hold an emergency meeting to try and figure out what to do.
