  • The yen's weakness persisted despite joint foreign-exchange intervention by U.S. and Japanese monetary authorities, leaving South Korea-listed yen-related ETFs with weak returns.
  • Even when tracking the same index, yen-exposed ETFs and yen-exposed U.S. long-term Treasury products posted much lower year-to-date returns than comparable non-exposed products.
  • Brokerages said there are limits to defending the yen's weakness, citing expansionary fiscal policy, limits to additional Bank of Japan rate hikes, and the possibility that the rate-hike cycle is nearing an end.
