After Trump was elected President of the United States on November 9, the market had originally expected the US dollar to appreciate and the euro and Asian currencies to depreciate. As a safe-haven currency, the Japanese Yen was expected to rise in value. However, after several days of market interpretation of the friendly signals released by Trump, as well as his plans to implement inflation-stimulating domestic infrastructure projects and fiscal measures, the US dollar surged while the Yen, aside from a sharp rise on the day of the US election, has depreciated more than expected.
