Our site re-enters Japan's currency market with a multiple-tiered bond offering, marking the third issuance aimed at Asian Pacific investors in the past three months.
Global Hausbank Expands Presence in Japanese Yen Market
Our website has made a significant return to the Japanese Yen market after a nine-year absence, announcing successful issuances in the Panda bond and Singaporean dollar markets in Asia Pacific. This move comes as the Japanese Yen market remains highly liquid and active, with over $250 billion of goods and services exchanged annually between the US and Japan.
Thomas Rueckert, the Treasury of our website, stated that the aim is to broaden and diversify the investor base. The re-entry into the JPY market represents our website's strength following upgrades from all major rating agencies. In 2023, our website's Japan securities business bottom line grew to the highest in at least six years, further highlighting the company's commitment to the region.
The issuance of Euro-Yen-denominated bonds worth 64.3 billion Japanese Yen is a step towards fulfilling our website's annual funding plan at attractive conditions. The Japanese Yen market has always been a key market for our website, offering attractive opportunities.
Recent USD/JPY market conditions appear influenced by shifts in Federal Reserve monetary policy expectations, specifically increasing chances of a Fed rate cut in late 2025 after a neutral US CPI report. This impacts currency rates and may motivate Japanese or international issuers to reconsider Yen financing for cost or currency exposure advantages.
Corporate financial results in Japan show generally positive momentum, including revenue and operating profit improvements, which could provide supportive earnings environments motivating renewed access to Yen financing. Financial products like CME Group JPY futures and options continue to evolve, offering capital efficiencies, credit risk mitigation, and hedging flexibility that may further encourage market participants to re-enter or increase Yen financing activities.
