The Invesco Currencyshares Japanese Yen Trust, ticker FXY, recorded outflows of $2.89 million on January 14, 2026, continuing investor rotation away from the Japanese currency. With assets under management now standing at roughly $460.94 million, the latest redemption represents about 0.63% of the fund’s AUM—modest in scale, but notable as part of a broader pattern of waning enthusiasm for yen exposure.
The related currency pair, FX:USD-JPY, is trading around 157.94, up about 4.74% over the past three months as the dollar’s yield advantage over the yen remains firmly in place. Despite that strength, short-term indicators point to a constructive bias for the greenback against the yen, with a 1-day technical signal flashing Buy.
The outflow from FXY suggests that investors are either trimming defensive positions or betting that the Bank of Japan will remain behind its global peers in tightening policy, leaving the yen under pressure. With the dollar-yen pair hovering near multi-decade highs, some traders appear more comfortable riding the prevailing trend than calling a reversal, even as valuation concerns around the yen grow louder.
