Factors Contributing to Yen’s Strength

• Trade Tensions: Ongoing trade disputes between major economies are fueling uncertainty.
• Economic Slowdown: Concerns about a global economic slowdown are prompting investors to seek safer investments.
• Safe-Haven Status: The yen is traditionally viewed as a safe-haven currency during times of market stress.
