Zhito Finance APP has learned that Japanese corporate executives are increasingly calling for a stronger yen, and even companies that benefit from a weak yen are no exception. Specific data from the Bank of Japan's quarterly corporate short-term economic survey released in July show that Japanese companies expect the average exchange rate in the second half of this year to be 152.51 yen per dollar. Although the yen has strengthened rapidly over the past two weeks, from a historical perspective, the yen is still at a weak level. According to Macrotrends data, the average exchange rate of the yen against the dollar over the past 10 years has been about 123 yen per dollar. On Thursday, the yen traded at 156.3 yen per dollar.
