Goldman Sachs expects yen to appreciate to 150 per dollar in 12 months

Summary

Goldman Sachs expects the yen to appreciate to 150 per dollar over the next 12 months, marking a reversal from its previous bearish stance in July. This shift is largely attributed to recent domestic policy changes and signs of potential capital repatriation by Japanese investors, who have begun moving funds back into domestic assets amidst evolving yield situations. Additionally, the Bank of Japan's accelerated pace of interest rate hikes has contributed to a more positive outlook for the yen.
