| December 17, 2008 | | Japanese yen continues to gain against the U.S. dollar in currency trading | The Japanese yen continues to gain against the U.S. dollar in currency trading on the FX market, even with rate cut expectations ahead. The Bank of Japan truly does appear to be in a race to 0% with the Fed: the 0.3% rate is expected to be cut to .15% or even .1%.
After yesterday's Fed rate cut, bringing U.S. rates to 0.25%, Japan lost its distinction of lowest rate. After Friday, though, that's expected to change.
