Recently, the global financial market has set off a storm, the yen has collapsed, the pillar of the Japanese economy, and what is even more shocking is that the 180-degree change in the attitude of US Treasury Secretary Yellen on this matter has caused a shock in the market, which may have a profound impact on the global financial market.
The collapse of the yen and Yellen's change of attitude
As the center of gravity of the Japanese economy and the third largest currency in the world's foreign exchange reserves, the yen plays a vital role in the global settlement system. Given that Japan is one of the largest exporters in the world, the yen has become an indispensable currency for international transactions.
In all corners of the world, many countries have chosen the yen as a solid foreign exchange reserve currency, further demonstrating the pivotal role in global financial stability. The recent collapse of the yen has aroused widespread concern in the international community, and the turbulence related to it is becoming the focus of close attention in the global financial circle.
1. The yen collapsed
The depreciation of the Japanese currency refers to a rapid decline in the value of the yen in a short period of time. This has led to lower prices for Japan's exports, attracting more attention from international buyers, which has contributed to the increase in exports in the short term, which in turn has a positive impact on economic growth. The depreciation of the Japanese currency has also brought about global trade turmoil, and the price of products from other countries in front of the yen has become higher, which may reduce the volume of exports to Japan, thus affecting the supply of the Japanese market and the balance of international trade.
The main culprit in the depreciation of the currency is a policy announced by the Bank of Japan not long ago, which affects the level of interest rates by adjusting the yield on domestic bonds. As a result, the decrease in demand for domestic bonds has further led to a decrease in demand for the yen, which has led to a decrease in its value.
While the reasons for this may seem straightforward and straightforward, the impact of the yen's depreciation is far-reaching. Given Japan's important position in the international export market, the stability of its currency value is directly related to the stability of the global economy. In the wake of the yen's depreciation, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen made a seemingly supportive statement, saying that the Bank of Japan's strategy was reasonable, a move that could not help but attract further attention and speculation in the market.
2. Yellen's change in attitude
After the Bank of Japan announced that it would consolidate the interest rate on bonds in Japan, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen initially criticized the matter, arguing that Japan's monetary policy is a kind of currency manipulation, which also means that Japan's monetary policy may lead to instability in global trade, causing global concerns.
But after the collapse of the yen, Yellen unexpectedly changed her position, saying that Japan's monetary policy is reasonable, which also caused a global shock, the United States has always been the world's largest currency issuer, but also the world's largest exporter, the United States monetary policy has a very important role for the world.
The United States has always had its own set of regulatory approaches to global monetary policy, but Yellen has expressed her stance on Japan's monetary policy this time, which also means that Yellen has adjusted the monetary policy of the United States, and Japan's monetary policy will also be affected by the United States, which means that the United States' position on global monetary policy supervision will also change.
Why did Yellen take a stance on Japan's monetary policy?
Although Japan's monetary policy will have an impact on global trade, it will also have an impact on the economic growth of the United States, which is the world's largest exporter, and American exports account for a large proportion of the United States' GDP, and the United States' exports are mainly concentrated in manufacturing.
Japan is one of the world's largest exporters, and its exports account for a very large proportion, the United States as the world's largest exporter, Japan is its largest export object, so Japan's exports to the United States also account for a very large proportion, but once the United States criticizes Japan's monetary policy, it means that Japan's exports will be affected, Japan's exports will decline, and then it means that the United States' demand for Japan's export goods will also decline.
Due to the decline in the demand of the United States for Japan, it means that Japan's exports will also decline, which will lead to a decline in Japan's manufacturing capacity, Japan's manufacturing industry will also be affected to a certain extent, and Japan's employment will also be affected to a certain extent, which also means that Japan's domestic demand will also be affected to a certain extent, Japan's domestic demand will decline, and Japan's GDP will naturally decline.
As the world's largest exporter, the United States' exports account for a very large proportion of the United States' GDP, and if the United States' exports decline, it means that the United States' GDP will also decline, and the United States' employment will also be affected.
It could have far-reaching implications for global financial markets
Yellen's change of stance may be motivated by the US economy, but it may also cause instability in financial markets around the world, while also increasing the demand for Japanese goods imports from other countries, which may also have an impact on global trade.
1. Global markets may face a realignment
The sudden and sharp drop in the yen and the unexpected shift in US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's stance have the potential to have a profound impact on the course of global financial markets. Most investors chose a conservative strategy to hedge after learning of the unstable signals revealed by the sharp fall of the yen. As Japanese products become more competitive due to currency depreciation, other countries' goods may struggle to match their prices, and with the possibility that their exports to the Japanese market will decline, which may undermine Japan's self-sufficiency in the long run, and may also lead to a reduction in its imports of foreign products, thus creating an element of instability in the global trade landscape.
Yellen's 180-degree change of attitude not only shocked the market, but could also mean a fundamental change in the U.S. stance on global monetary policy regulation. As a leader in the global economy for a long time, the United States has always maintained a strict regulatory attitude towards global monetary policy, and Yellen's remarks on Japan's monetary policy may indicate that the United States will adopt a new strategy for global economic governance that is different from the past, which undoubtedly poses new challenges to international financial governance.
2. It may provide opportunities for other countries to increase demand for Japanese goods
Yellen's change of stance may lead to a wider discussion, but Yellen's change of stance may also provide more demand for other countries to import Japanese goods, because Japan's goods are cheaper, and other countries' goods are more expensive, which may lead to the inability of other countries' goods to be exported to Japan, Japan's self-sufficiency will be affected, and Japan will also reduce its imports of other countries' goods for this reason, which will eventually lead to the instability of global trade.
However, because Japanese goods are cheaper, other countries will also increase their demand for Japanese goods, which will also benefit Japan's exports, and will also have a certain impact on global trade, but the final impact on global financial markets remains to be seen, and investors will also need to adjust their strategies according to the actual situation.
epilogue
The collapse of the yen and Yellen's reversal of stance are major events that could have far-reaching implications for global financial markets, but the ultimate impact remains to be seen, and investors will need to adjust their strategies according to the actual situation.
