Yen vs Euro

Historical data shows that the yen has had difficult times against the Euro,it can be seen below as to how the Yen has become expensive compared to 1 euro since October 2006 till early February 2007:

This week however is different for the yen , it is showing signs of recovery not only against the euro but also against the dollar , this happened after the G-7 meeting held in Germany where a weaker yen was not displayed at all bringing confidence in the investors. I feel that the yen will recover slowly and steadily ,since the global volatility may continue to bring about more investors wold sell the yen to fund long-yielding assets at times of volatility. What do you guys think, will the yen continue to rise against the euro and the dollar?

Hi Buddy,

Your insights on Currency are good. Hey Dude, earlier I used to observe the Yen a lot. Don't believe in Yen. It Keeps on Fluctuating. I don't think that Yen will continue its upward trend.
