  6. Hi Coner, thank you for writing!

    I think it's hard to find a macro factor that does not influence currency prices :)

    Specifically for my view on JPY above, Japan's current account surplus and GDP growth (and, hence, capital inflows) are the main macro factors that will drive the Yen upward vs USD over the upcoming weeks/months, in my opinion.
