Key Quotes
“The yen remains the top-performing G10 currency this year (and over the past month). In recent days, the yen has started to weaken against some key crosses, notably the euro – EUR/JPY touched 115, its pre-US election level before bouncing higher.

Also, US trade policy will likely continue to focus on US trade partners, including the yen.
