<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 1238815, member: 3011"]I don't think it's always that black and white. From what I can gather, the recent yen appreciation happened because Japanese finanial institution are selling foreign [e.g., USA] investments and repatriating the proceeds to fund rebuilding from the recent catastrophe. So the "strength" of the yen is a function of enormous domestic problems. In a sense, the "strength" is due to a shortage of capital, which is hardly a good thing for a nation. Another thought is that the US may go down the same road over the next decade. The dollar may stay stronger than many here expect due to the shortage of capital needed to pay down debt and put folks back to work. The hyperinflation that many expect as inevitable might turn out to be an unexpected deflation instead. It's too soon to tell, but it might be a mistake to dismiss the possibility until there is more evidence.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
