The United States has sent a clear message to Japan: If you want to stop the yen from weakening and fix the trade imbalance between our countries, you must raise interest rates. The U.S. Treasury Department has directly urged the Bank of Japan to act more decisively.

Washington Wants a Stronger Yen and Fairer Trade
This directive was outlined in a fresh report to Congress on the state of global currency markets. In it, the Treasury called on Japan's central bank to respond to its current economic conditions — especially growth and inflation — by implementing further rate hikes.
According to Washington, a stronger yen would help narrow the U.S. trade deficit and create fairer conditions for American exporters. Japan’s weak currency has long been seen as an unfair advantage for its export-driven economy.

U.S. Also Targets Japan’s Giant Pension Funds
In addition to calling for rate hikes, the Treasury also criticized Japan’s massive public pension funds. It said they should not make foreign investments to influence the exchange rate. Instead, they should aim for diversified, risk-adjusted returns — not competitive currency manipulation.
Such direct comments on Japan’s monetary policy are rare from the U.S. But the weak yen has remained a long-term concern for Washington. Ultra-low interest rates in Japan are seen as a key reason for its persistently undervalued currency.

Japan Responds Cautiously as U.S. Monitors More Countries
Japan’s Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato offered a measured response, saying the government does not interfere with decisions made by the central bank. He declined to directly comment on the Treasury report and noted that pension funds manage their portfolios independently.
Interestingly, while the U.S. has not formally labeled any country a “currency manipulator” in 2024, Japan remains on its watchlist — alongside China, South Korea, Germany, Switzerland, and several other nations.

Trump Administration Tightens the Screws
This report marks the first full foreign exchange review under Donald Trump’s renewed presidency. The tone is clear: America will closely monitor any signs of currency-driven trade distortions. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent emphasized that U.S. tolerance for imbalanced macroeconomic policies has ended.
During his first term, Trump was known for taking a tough stance on trade, especially against countries like China and Japan. While tariffs were his primary tool, currency manipulation is now also in focus. The latest report even added Ireland and Switzerland to the watchlist, expanding it to nine countries.

What Does This Mean?
Under a 2015 U.S. law, any country that meets two out of three criteria related to trade and currency automatically lands on the Treasury's monitoring list. While that designation doesn't carry immediate penalties, it increases the pressure — and the risk of retaliatory action.
📉 For now, Japan’s monetary policy — and the fate of the yen — will remain under a global spotlight.

The global investment landscape is shifting once again. According to Bloomberg, many major money managers remain hesitant to re-enter the Chinese stock market, despite slight improvements in the economy. Concerns over government policy, market transparency, and global tensions continue to make traditional investors nervous.
While capital flows out of Chinese stocks, one asset class stands strong: crypto.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other decentralized assets do not rely on any one country’s economic stability. They operate on global demand, independent of political pressures. As uncertainty grows in traditional markets, many investors are looking for alternatives — and crypto is rising as the most attractive option.

Why this matters:
Investors are seeking assets that are borderless and decentralized.Crypto adoption is likely to accelerate if global markets stay shaky.Bitcoin could become the new “flight to safety” asset alongside gold.
If you’re paying attention, you’ll realize: the next big shift might already be happening.
Are you ready to position yourself for the future?

بينما تتجه أنظار الأسواق العالمية إلى جبال الألب السويسرية، إذ تُعقد محادثات تجارية مرتقبة بين واشنطن وبكين، أطلق المستشار الاقتصادي للبيت الأبيض، كيفن هاسيت، تصريحات لافتة تنبض بتفاؤل مشوب بالحذر بشأن مخرجات اللقاء، مشيراً إلى وجود «مؤشرات إيجابية»، تعكس هذه التصريحات نوايا الطرفين كسر الجمود وتخفيف حدة التوتر التجاري المستمر منذ سنوات.

أوضح هاسيت الذي يرأس المجلس الاقتصادي الوطني، في مقابلة مع شبكة «سي إن بي سي» أنّه تحدث شخصياً مع الممثل التجاري الأميركي جيميسون جرير ووزير الخزانة سكوت بيسنت أثناء مغادرتهما إلى سويسرا.

واصف هاسيت أجواء التحضيرات بأنها «مبشرة جداً»، وتدل على وجود «احترام متبادل، وروح تعاون حقيقية»، مشدداً على أن ما يجري خلف الكواليس يشير إلى احتمال حدوث «تطورات إيجابية» خلال اللقاء.

تأتي هذه التصريحات وسط ترقّب واسع للقاء الثنائي الذي سيجمع هذا الأسبوع بين وزير الخزانة الأميركي سكوت بيسنت ونائب رئيس الوزراء الصيني هي ليفينغ في سويسرا، وهو الاجتماع الأعلى مستوى بين البلدين منذ أشهر.

ويهدف إلى إعادة ضبط البوصلة التجارية بعد سنوات من النزاع الذي بدأ عندما فرضت إدارة الرئيس دونالد ترامب رسوماً جمركية مشددة على الواردات الصينية، لترد بكين بإجراءات مماثلة.

وفي بيان صادر عن وزارة الخزانة الأميركية، أشار بيسنت إلى أنّه يتوجه إلى سويسرا «لإجراء مناقشات بناءة تهدف إلى إعادة التوازن إلى النظام الاقتصادي الدولي بما يخدم مصالح الولايات المتحدة بشكل أفضل»، في تلميح إلى رغبة أميركية في إعادة صياغة قواعد اللعبة الاقتصادية مع ثاني أكبر اقتصاد في العالم.

من جانبها، أكدت وزارة الخارجية الصينية أنّ نائب رئيس مجلس الدولة، وعضو المكتب السياسي للحزب الشيوعي، هي ليفينغ، سيزور سويسرا بين 9 و12 مايو أيار بدعوة رسمية من الحكومة السويسرية، على أن يلتقي بيسنت «بصفته نقطة الاتصال الأساسية في الملفات الاقتصادية والتجارية بين الصين والولايات المتحدة».

في ظل هذه الأجواء، تبدو الأسواق والمراقبون الاقتصاديون أمام لحظة اختبار جديدة: هل تنجح واشنطن وبكين في فتح صفحة جديدة من التفاهم التجاري، أم أن الخلافات الهيكلية ستعود لتفرض واقعاً أكثر توتراً؟
