# Weekly Recap | FXY.US +2.48%, closing in on record highs

## The Week

FXY.US rose 2.48% this week to $58.67, comfortably ahead of the S&P 500’s +0.09%, for about 2.39 percentage points of outperformance. The fund traded narrowly between $57.20 and $57.73 from Monday to Wednesday, then gapped higher on Thursday with a surge in volume, touching an intraday high of $59.03 before easing to $58.67 on Friday. Weekly amplitude was 3.19%, and average daily volume of roughly 268k shares ran 43.78% above the 60-day median, with Thursday’s 586k shares the main driver of the pickup.

## Sector News

Yen-related headlines this week centred on policy expectations and safe-haven flows. On 1 September, Bessent said he expected Japan to act to support the yen while signalling a possible BOJ rate hike, lifting tightening bets. The yen hovered near 160, briefly weakening past that level on 1 September as Iran tensions triggered a bond sell-off, before Asian currencies edged higher on 3 September. Japan’s top currency diplomat said the same day that authorities remained on alert over yen moves. By 4 September, the yen was on track for its best week in a month, with gold’s stabilisation arriving alongside the yen’s turn.

## The Week Ahead

Next week brings a set of US data tied closely to rate expectations. NFIB small business sentiment arrives on 8 September, followed on 10 September by the 10-year Treasury auction results, initial jobless claims, final demand PPI and existing home sales. The auction’s high yield and bid-to-cover ratio will be watched as a gauge of bond demand, while the PPI prints will shape the market’s view on inflation and, in turn, dollar-yen dynamics.

## In Short

FXY.US’s advance this week tracked the yen’s stabilisation, though the latest daily flow data show a split picture. Large-lot money was a net seller at 219.55, while medium and small orders were net buyers totalling 156.69, suggesting support came mainly from smaller players. The negative P/E reflects the fund’s cash-like yen holdings rather than a conventional earnings story. Ahead, the focus sits on how US inflation and labour data are priced, and how much yen volatility Japanese officials are willing to tolerate.
