The HSBC report discusses the recent strengthening of the Yen against the US Dollar, which follows a surge in Japanese long-dated bond yields. Speculation of government intervention, combined with ongoing US Dollar weakness and Japanese fiscal stimulus, suggests that 2026 could be the 'year of the Yen'. The report highlights the potential impact on carry trades and warns investors to be cautious of Japanese market volatility.

"Nonetheless, it’s a reminder that global investors should be wary of the impact of Japanese market volatility."
