Yen Market Dynamics

The Yen Market Dynamics explores how capital flows between Japan and the U.S. influence the exchange rate of the Yen relative to the dollar. When capital flows from Japan to the U.S., this increases the supply of Yen in the foreign exchange market, leading to a decrease in the Yen's value, making Japanese goods cheaper for U.S. consumers while making U.S. exports more expensive for Japan. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for grasping how exchange rates affect international trade and the overall economy.
