Yen crashes to 40-year low while oil gluts the market — long Japanese exporters who win on both
The Japanese yen has cratered to its weakest level in 40 years, making Japanese exports incredibly cheap globally. At the exact same time, oil is entering a supply glut and Asian refiners are desperately offering cheap crude to the US.
Idea
A 40-year low in the yen gives Japanese manufacturers an enormous pricing advantage on the global stage, while the country's stock market is set to climb on this currency weakness. However, a surging dollar and a global oil supply glut usually drag down energy and import costs, creating a dual tailwind for Japanese corporate margins. By connecting the historic yen slide with falling oil prices, the trade sets up a scenario where Japanese equities outperform while their major input costs (energy) shrink.
