Japanese Retail Investors' Short Dollar Bets Hit 20-Year Peak at 2.79 Trillion Yen

GateNews
Forex
USDJPY-0.03%
According to data from Japan Financial Futures Association and foreign media reports, Japanese retail investors' net short dollar positions surged to 2.79 trillion yen (approximately $172 billion) last month, marking the highest level since late 2008. The positions jumped over four-fold from the prior month, driven by market speculation that the Japanese government may intervene to weaken the dollar against the yen. Retail investors dominate spot forex trading in Tokyo and their positioning could affect the efficacy of government intervention. Hideki Shibata, senior rates and FX strategist at Tokai Tokyo Research Laboratory, noted that when the government implements forex intervention by selling dollars and buying yen, retail investors may close their short positions by selling yen, potentially pushing USD/JPY in the opposite direction.
