Japanese Retail Forex Could be Set for a Rebound
The election of Japanese Prime Minister Abe for another term with a supermajority in the lower house of parliament is set to increase volatility in the Japanese yen. The constitutional majority which the new government of Abe enjoys should lead to material changes, that may affect the local currency market.
One of the main tasks of the new old prime minister is to appoint a new governor to the Bank of Japan. Abe is largely expected to continue supporting current BoJ chief, Harihuko Kuroda. With the implementation of the quantitative and qualitative easing program with yield curve control in 2014, the Japanese yen's value fluctuated widely to reach as low as 125.87 in mid-2015.
Since then the Japanese yen has somewhat recovered as local investors have become less active on the currency market. Typically, Japanese retail forex traders become more active when monetary policy targets a lower exchange rate.
