Yen Exchange Rate Watch

[Edge of Destiny]

too far ahead and the currency rate is volatile.

Best to hedge, if you see it going below 12.
Just change some first.

Okay thanks

I going on oct, advisable to change now?? Any reocommendation, i stay at bukit batok

i going in june for 2 person thinking of changing 4k total for two. Shld i change or wait?

In Asia, generally if China and the rest of Asia has bad news (low manufacturing output, crashing stock market etc), then investors pull out and dump their money in Japan, and the JPY strengthens.

So between now and when you are travelling, do you think China and Asia ex-Japan will be strong or weak?

If like me you got no freaking idea then just split into 3, change some now, change some halfway, change the rest just before you fly

Worse & worse for S$ vs ¥.

The tactic should be changing when Yen is trending down, not whether you are going in 3 or 6 months later & average down.

It's possible.

IMO for those going in March/April the only blip we can hope for is Budget 2016. Hopefully Strengthens the SGD slightly for us to go in. However it's Heng Swee Keat's first time as Fianance Minister not sure how the market will react.

Sighzzzz should have changed earlier.....

 

[Wood41]

Yen was weakening 2-3 months ago & nobody knew how long or how much more ......
I changed S$2k each time as it was dropping every few days / weeks . I was just averaging down like I trade stocks.

Hi all,

I'll be going to Japan in mid April around the 13th. As we all know the yen has been highly volatile recently. I would like to ask for some advice on if I should change my money now?

More worse today .

MAS may weaken S$ further in view of the bad exports.

Different strategies depending on amount and time/convenience.

1. change in 2-3 lots when rate is acceptable to you.
2. Change in one lot.

Regardless you'll need to change sometime as April isn't far away .

 

[YogurtIcecream]

Luckily I changed a lot more earlier on, but I will need to change a little bit more before I go. Hopefully the rate improves.

 

[Wood41]

S$1 = 79.73 JPY now on XE.

A arcade money changer website selling rate is 12.560
