that creates incentive for japanese investors to send money to the u.s. for higher-yielding assets. that brightens the prospect for japanese export earnings, and it also puts easing pressure on inflation. the downward spiral and prices have seen over the last few months think of easing, and that will create more of a polish environment for japanese companies -- bullish environment for companies at home. betty: it is funny to see that most analysts were concerned the trump victory would hurt equities and make the yen stronger. how likely will this be sustained? guy: it really is -- ryan: it really is quite surprising. this is the fifth best of about 100 we have tracked since november 9, definitely not had -- if anything, the opposite effect of what we expected.
