Faced with slow domestic growth and no rise in interest rates, Asian markets had a rough start to the year, but saw rapid improvement, closely following the continuously rising US bull market. Japanese monetary policy has attracted a lot of attention and investors are watching the Japanese yen closely. Past events have taught us that the currency is the one that’s capable of delivering surprises.
