The yen's four-week slide is far from over as Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso sets up his defenses against any U.S. efforts to browbeat Japan over trade.
Aso, who flew to the U.S. despite parliament's refusal to endorse his trip, warned against using FX rates to fix current-account imbalances. He may be seeking to preempt comments from U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, with whom he is due to meet on Friday in the American capital.
However trade tensions do have the capacity to drive yen strength given Japan is already on a U.S. Treasury watch list, so we have to be careful.
