Yen faces long-term weakening despite intervention

The claim bundle suggests that despite Japanese officials' readiness to intervene, the yen is expected to face long-term weakening. Dale Pinkert remains skeptical about the long-term success of yen interventions and suggests the yen could weaken to 170 this summer. This bearish outlook is supported by the high USD rates and short yen positions, which make a massive unwind of the carry trade unlikely.
