Safe-Haven Yen Climbs vs. Rivals

The Japanese yen has strengthened against most of its major counterparts, continuing to prove that for the time being this is the solid currency that traders can rely on to provide them with steady profits. The yen extended gains versus the dollar on Thursday, to trade above 84.40 amid a broad sell-off in the USD. The JPY also saw bullishness against the EUR and closed at 107.30.

Investors worry about the rise in the JPY as it makes Japanese products less competitive abroad and hurts the value of overseas sales when translated back into the Japanese currency. With steady gains, primarily against the dollar, much of the yen's bullish movement could be contributed to the repatriation of overseas earnings by Japanese companies into the local economy. This has had a positive effect on major JPY currency pairings, as the rising turmoil in the market is leading to more investment in the Japanese currency.
