Rich Japanese still fear yen crash, wealth manager says

As global markets hover on the edge amid President Trump's trade war, investors are bracing for uncertainty. Among them, Japan's richest individuals remain skeptical about the yen's future, fearing its weakening due to inflation concerns and a past market collapse in the early 1990s. AUBJ's regional chief investment officer, Daiju Aoki, highlights that these high-net-worth clients are deeply concerned about the yen's value, citing fears of it dropping to 180 or 200 yen per dollar as Japan's economy softens and industrial investment stagnates.
