Why did the Japanese Yen fall so dramatically against the dollar in 2022 and why is it recovering now?
In: 3
Pretty much every other major currency value fell relative to the USD last year. This is because the Federal Reserve started to increase interest rates in the US. This has the effect of “pulling in” assets from countries with unchanged or lower interest rates as they seek greater returns. This increased demand for USD causes the USD to appreciate relative to other currencies.
