• 1.The essential pre-condition for a Yen rally—the reversal of Japanese portfolio outflows—is finally emerging as institutional and household behavior shifts.
• 2.Carry trade activity, reflected in short-term loan outflows, has replaced long-term portfolio outflows as the primary driver of Yen depreciation since late 2025.
• 3.A Middle East ceasefire or falling oil prices is the necessary macro catalyst required to trigger a sustained return of capital to Japan and Yen appreciation.
