China Xiaokang March 16, Lao Ma The yen devaluation - dollar appreciation market is on again. However, even though the market is the same, this time it is significantly different from 5 years ago.

The Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported that the signs of "vicious yen devaluation" had been manifested more than half a year ago. By the summer of 2021, international energy prices soared as global economic activity recovered from the new crown epidemic. The Bank of Japan's Corporate Price Index for August 2021 showed that the import price index rose by nearly 30% year-on-year, the highest level in history since 1981, when comparable data became available. That was also the time when the author wrote "The Floating 'Vicious Yen Devaluation'".
