ProShares Ultra Yen’s leveraged currency fund, YCL, recorded a sizeable $926,528 outflow on May 13, 2026, underscoring renewed investor caution toward the yen. The redemption, equal to roughly 2.18% of the fund’s $42.48 million in assets under management, suggests traders are trimming exposure to bullish yen bets after a period of relative stability.
The related asset, FX:USD-JPY, is currently trading at ¥158.72, up about 3.68% over the past three months as the dollar’s yield advantage keeps pressure on Japan’s currency. Despite the latest outflow, short-term signals remain constructive for dollar strength, with the pair flashing a 1-day technical rating of Buy, a backdrop that may continue to challenge yen-focused ETFs like YCL.
