Japan intervenes in the foreign exchange market to depreciate the yen

During the night, Japan has intervened in the market unilaterally to weaken the yen against major international currencies, particularly delo U.S. dollar, against which was recently increased to a maximum of the last 15. The Yen is currently losing more than 2% against all major currencies and the Nikkei closed up by more than 2%. To be evaluated now is whether these actions will have a lasting effect on the foreign exchange market or only temporary. The academic literature has reached mixed results sui risultati degli interventi delle banche centrali sul mercato dei cambi ed il recente fallimento della Banca Nazionale Svizzera nel fermare l'apprezzamento del Franco Svizzero è un esempio negativo in tal senso. Ad ogni modo, considerando tutti i problemi dell'economia giapponese che abbiamo sottolineato in un nostro articolo dello scorso mese di maggio, non investiremmo nella valuta giapponese in questo momento.
