Japanese Yen FAQs

The Japanese Yen (JPY) is one of the world’s most traded currencies. Its value is broadly determined by the performance of the Japanese economy, but more specifically by the Bank of Japan’s policy, the differential between Japanese and US bond yields, or risk sentiment among traders, among other factors.

One of the Bank of Japan’s mandates is currency control, so its moves are key for the Yen. The BoJ has directly intervened in currency markets sometimes, generally to lower the value of the Yen, although it refrains from doing it often due to political concerns of its main trading partners. The BoJ ultra-loose monetary policy between 2013 and 2024 caused the Yen to depreciate against its main currency peers due to an increasing policy divergence between the Bank of Japan and other main central banks. More recently, the gradually unwinding of this ultra-loose policy has given some support to the Yen.

Over the last decade, the BoJ’s stance of sticking to ultra-loose monetary policy has led to a widening policy divergence with other central banks, particularly with the US Federal Reserve. This supported a widening of the differential between the 10-year US and Japanese bonds, which favored the US Dollar against the Japanese Yen. The BoJ decision in 2024 to gradually abandon the ultra-loose policy, coupled with interest-rate cuts in other major central banks, is narrowing this differential.

The Japanese Yen is often seen as a safe-haven investment. This means that in times of market stress, investors are more likely to put their money in the Japanese currency due to its supposed reliability and stability. Turbulent times are likely to strengthen the Yen’s value against other currencies seen as more risky to invest in.

U.S. Deploys Scorpion Strike Force Drones – But Do They Have Warheads?

The post U.S. Deploys Scorpion Strike Force Drones – But Do They Have Warheads? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. LUCAS one way attack drone (with inert warhead) at Yuma Proving Ground U.S. Army Last week United Stated Central Command (CENTCOM) announced Task Force Scorpion Strike (TFSS), and that a squadron had already been formed, “the U.S. military’s first one-way-attack drone squadron,” based in the Middle East. The release includes images of the unit’s Low-cost Unmanned Combat Attack System (LUCAS) drones, reverse-engineered from Shaheds used by Iran and Russia. The announcement comes just four months after Pete Hegseth ordered an acceleration of the acquisition and fielding of affordable drone technology. The location in Iran’s back yard is hardly coincidental. Previously the U.S. could only launch small numbers of expensive legacy missiles. Now Scorpion Strike can unleash the sort of massive drone barrages that Russia regularly launches and “flip the script on Iran” as one U.S. official puts it. Or can it? Other information suggests LUCAS is far from ready for action. *Warhead Not Included? The U.S. Army also issued a press release last week, describing the testing of LUCAS at the Yuma Proving Ground (YPG). The image with the release shows a craft which looks identical to those displayed by CENTCOM. Scorpion Strike’s LUCAS drones CENTCOM YPG includes over 2,000 miles of restricted airspace in the desert, making it the ideal place to test long range systems. But there is no testing with live weapons yet. “We’re getting our baby steps in before we conduct safety certification testing,” states Col. Nicholas Law, Director of Experimentation in the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research & Engineering, in the release. But it seems the warheads for the drones have not been made. “The warhead that will eventually be integrated into LUCAS isn’t constructed yet, but it will also be low-cost and mass produced by multiple manufacturers. Evaluators are currently…
