At the end of January, the Bank of Japan introduced negative interest rates, resulting in price soaring of USD/JPY to 121JPY level. However, then crude oil price fell sharply for only 10 business days. Along with this, financial uncertaintly about the future of Europe and the United States were rekindled and caused massive selloff of major banks’ stock such as Deutsche Bank. In Japan Nikkei Stock Average also dropped by about 17%, and this triggered heavy decline in USD/JPY.
