Yen Rises with Warning From Takaichi, Metals Rally

Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi warned the market on Sunday, saying Japan will take all necessary measures to address speculative and highly abnormal movements. Kei Okamura is Portfolio Manager and Managing Director for Japan Equities at Neuberger Berman. He discusses Takaichi's warning, bonds, and the Japan CPI data coming later this week.
