[Stansberry Research Logo] Delivering World-Class Financial Research Since 1999 [DailyWealth] This Sudden Currency Rally Has Room to Run By Brett Eversole --------------------------------------------------------------- A genuine currency collapse was underway over the past few years. Now, it appears to be over... The Japanese yen dropped by more than a third of its value from the 2021 high through the low last month. That's a massive drop for a major global currency. The crash led to hugely negative sentiment. Traders were all betting the decline would continue. As we wrote in DailyWealth [back in May]( that meant a reversal was likely on the horizon... Well, now the reversal is here. The yen soared in recent weeks. And according to history, the recent rally is only the beginning... --------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Links: [TODAY AT 9 A.M.

But the yen has been under the microscope in recent weeks... In late July, the Bank of Japan hiked interest rates... which helped trigger a global stock market sell-off. It also pushed the Japanese yen into a sudden dramatic rally. You see, major currencies tend to move at a glacial pace. They typically experience big, long-term trends. So watching a currency lose a third of its value in a few years is rare. It's just as rare to see a currency soar in only a few weeks... But that's exactly what has happened in the Japanese yen. The currency finally hit bottom on July 10. Then, it went on to soar 10% as the market madness took over. Take a look... In early July, the yen was at a multidecade low... the lowest level since the 1980s. But in just 17 trading days, the currency jumped an incredible 10%. And it has popped even higher since then. This kind of quick rally is a good sign for the yen. Over the past 40 years, the currency has a history of continuing to soar after similar moves. Take a look... The yen is a slow long-term mover, like most major currencies. It has rallied just 1.3% per year over the past four decades. But you can crush that return if you buy in times like these... Similar setups led to 4.7% gains in six months and 15.5% gains over the next year. That's massive outperformance. Most folks probably don't think a double-digit gain is possible from here. After all, currencies shouldn't rally that much. But remember, the yen staged its recent rally off a multidecade low. It would need to climb 35% just to hit the 2021 high. So a 16% gain is well within reach. Plus, history is firmly on the side of another leg higher. This currency tends to keep rising after a swift double-digit rally. For the first time in a long time, the yen has caught the attention of investors. And the smart bet is that the recent rally will continue. So if you're looking to make a currency bet, the yen is worth considering today. Good investing, Brett Eversole Further Reading Footwear giant Nike recently fell into "oversold" territory.
