对于日本官员而言，150的重要关口在心理和政治上都十分敏感。此前，日本官员曾警告或干预货币市 场，因为日元跌破该点位会增加进口成本，加剧家庭的生活成本危机。 日元疲软也再次唤起了特朗普最喜欢的老调重弹：日本以牺牲美国为代价，从低估的货币中获益。 如今，随着安倍的"门徒"——高市早苗即将执掌全球第四大经济体，同样的担忧可能再次浮出水面。 高市早苗被普遍认为是"安倍经济学"的拥护者，该经济策略主张宽松货币政策、财政支出和结构性改 革。在去年执政的自民党总裁选举中，她批评了日本央行加息并增强日元的计划。 市场对此做出了反应，出现了所谓的"高市交易"，将日经225指数推向历史新高，美元兑日元汇率升破 150大关。 多年来，美国总统特朗普一直指责日本从事"不公平贸易行为"，这一批评可以追溯到他还是房地产大亨 的时候。 上周五，特朗普再次点名日本，声称东京通过削弱日元以获取不公平的贸易优势。"我曾打电话给日本 领导人，告诉他们不能继续贬值货币，"他说。 然而，分析师表示，高市早苗可能会在经济政策上谨慎行事，以避免与华盛顿关系紧张。 据报道，时任日本首相石破茂在日本国会表示，日本并未推行所谓的"货币贬值政策"，包括已故的安 ...

Core Viewpoint - The Japanese yen's status as a safe-haven currency is increasingly being questioned amid global tensions, leading to heightened selling pressure and a drop to an eight-month low this week [2]. Group 1: Yen's Safe-Haven Status - Historically, investors have turned to the yen during market turmoil due to Japan's large current account surplus, stable political system, and strong domestic investor base [2]. - Recent trends show that the yen's performance as a hedging tool has become more unstable, with a shift towards assets like gold, undermining the yen's position [2][4]. - The yen's correlation with the S&P 500 has turned negative, indicating that it is no longer behaving as a traditional safe-haven asset [2][4].

Group 3: Investment Trends and Alternatives - Despite a nearly 3% appreciation of the yen against the dollar this year, it remains one of the worst-performing currencies in the G-10 [7]. - Asset management firms have reduced net long positions in the yen by nearly 40% since late April, while hedge funds are increasingly shorting the yen [7]. - Investors are turning to other hedging tools, with the Swiss franc being viewed as more reliable and cost-effective than the yen [7].

Group 2: Investment Sentiment - The increase in gold prices, which have risen over 50% this year, is attributed to factors like "de-dollarization" and reduced exposure to U.S. debt [4]. - Gold is traditionally viewed as an asset with low or zero correlation to the stock market, but recent trends show a positive correlation between the two [4]. - Analysts express caution as both gold and the stock market are in an "melt-up" phase, raising concerns about potential market corrections if a triggering factor occurs [4][5].
