Recent market dynamics show that Wall Street investors are still piling into short yen positions. Despite the yen's weakness, which traditionally benefits Japanese exporters and lifts the stock market, the current rally in Japanese equities is not being powered by this conventional channel.

This suggests that the resilience of Japanese shares may stem from other endogenous factors such as improved corporate earnings and structural reforms, rather than a short-term boost from capital repatriation.
