Bank of Japan Considers “Exit Strategy”

Bank of Japan Considers “Exit Strategy”

“The dollar fell to two-week lows against the Japanese yen Tuesday after a newspaper report indicated the Bank of Japan is considering an exit strategy for its dollar-buying intervention.”

“Japan has spent a record amount of reserves to sell yen for dollars, depressing the home currency and buttressing a broadly declining dollar, in order to keep Japanese exports more attractive on world markets.”

“The dollar tumbled 1.2 percent against the Japanese yen, at 108.88 yen per dollar in early-afternoon U.S. trading”

Holders of dollars, beware.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
