Peter Boockvar Japanese Yen The Japanese Yen will strengthen as the Bank of Japan continuously raises rates in 2026
See quote
[29:31] I think the yen is just way way too cheap and the BOJ is going to have to do something and and maybe continuously raise rates this year which will eventually bring that money back.

George Gammon Japanese Yen The Japanese yen is at risk of a death spiral if Japan exhausts its FX reserves defending the currency at the 160 level
See quote
[25:45] And like I said, we're at 162 right now. And that works until you run out of FX reserves. Now you got a problem. Now you got a big problem. You can sell treasuries. You can sell gold. But at a certain point, you might have to take the only asset that's on your balance sheet if you're Japan, and that would be yen. to sell to get those dollars that you have to have and in that case the yen just you go into a death spiral

George Noble Japanese Yen The Japanese Yen will remain weak as real rates in Japan remain too low to stabilize the currency
See quote
[11:25] The yen has continued to weaken. Yeah, it's bounced a little bit the last couple weeks, but in the bigger scheme of things, the yen has been much weaker than virtually anyone anticipated. There's a simple reason for that. Interest rates aren't high enough.

Michael Gayed Japanese Yen The free market will probably push the Japanese yen even lower
See quote
[0:24] At some point, the free market will probably push the yen even lower. And that's going to be a real problem longer term for Japan, but they're going to try and prevent along the way.

David Hay Japanese Yen The Japanese Yen will strengthen from 143 to 120 against the dollar, possibly even to 100
See quote
[34:37] I was very bullish on the yen I thought the yen was a great fragile non-fragile asset and it has it's up 10% this year with a lot of things down. I still think it's going higher. It's correcting a little bit and you know maybe wait it for it to back off a bit more but I think that it's going to go from say 143 to the dollar to 120 maybe even eventually close to 100 to the dollar which would be a big appreciation.

The David Lin Report 2025-05-04 2026-05-04

Graded early 2026-03-22. Yen weakened instead of strengthening: USD/JPY went from 144.62 at prediction to 149.33, away from the 120 target. Period low was 142.13 — never approached 120. Would need a ~20% move in 43 days, essentially impossible for a major currency pair.
