Tatsuo Yamasaki, a former vice finance minister for international affairs, speaking in an interview late last week:

  • "What's amazing is that he hasn't said anything about the yen"
  • "Last year Yellen was saying that the dollar's effective rate was up 20 percent, and it was holding back exports, weighing on profits, and holding down inflation."

Yamasaki added that Trump's administration could provide a boost to the Japanese economy if he follows through with pro-growth measures.

Mmmm. Still, we are only one tweet away from a comment on pretty much anything. WPAC noted such on the AUD last week:

Oh yeah, didn't trump comment on the yen Thursday (I think it was?) last week?

Or was that just on Japanese cars etc.?
