Some investors are selling borrowed #yen, exchanging it into US dollars then investing in the #US since US interest rates are much higher than in #Japan. This is called #carrytrade. This is contributing to #JPY depreciation.
The Japanese #Yen is stuck between two opposing forces. Since the #USD interest rates are higher than #Japan, the #JPY becomes weaker, the problem is this increases import costs and leads to #inflation so the JP government may have to sell USD FX reserves to support the JPY.
