A stronger yen means that Honda's profits made in dollars were worth less when exchanged into yen. Honda needs to convert the US dollars to yen in order to pay all of its bills and salaries in Japan. Honda later announced that it lost 101 billion yen in operating profits because of unfavorable foreign exchange rates during that year.

Question 9 of 10.

What is considered the optimal inflation rate for a country?

1. 0%
2. 8%
3. 2%

2% is the sweet spot!

An inflation rate that goes lower than 2% runs the risk of falling into deflation, which can lead to falling wages and reduced economic activity. For example, if inflation in the USA would be falling for a prolonged time, it could lead to a decrease in the USD value against other currencies.

Higher inflation, on the other hand, might reduce foreign investments as investors would fear that their money would lose its value. So, there has to be a nice balance and 2% is considered a level of sustainable growth.

JPY/USD fall > Tesla stock price UP

Tesla (TSLA) buys its battery cells from Japan for millions of US dollars every month. These are used in cars that are mainly sold in the US and Europe.

Due to the dramatic fall of the Japanese yen in 2012-2013, the value of Tesla’s liabilities in that currency decreased; they could buy more yens with their dollars. Tesla had a foreign currency exchange gain of $12 million due to the weakening of the Japanese yen. These gains obviously increased the value of the company.
