Current overview (not historical)

AI overview

Goldman Sachs strategists named Short USD/JPY as the most effective trade to hedge against a broad AI market shock or general growth wobbles. The bank attributes the yen's effectiveness as a hedge to Japan's domestic policy settings, which have made the yen's reaction to rising yields smaller. They noted that matching quarter-point moves would leave the US-Japan rate gap little changed.

    Goldman Sachs strategists argue that Japan's domestic policy settings have made the yen less reactive to rising global yields, positioning it as an effective hedge against an AI market shock. The bank recommends shorting USD/JPY as the most effective hedge against general growth wobbles or a broad AI shock, noting that a tech selloff recently pulled Japan's Nikkei 225 well below its record high.
