Please explain the fluctuations in the exchange rate.

Talking about USDJPY, the current fluctuation means risk-off market sentiment. The Japanese interest rate is much lower than American one, so investors basically prefer to invest in USD. Therefore they sell JPY and buy USD, and the exchange rate of USDJPY becomes higher. However, once the market sentiment becomes worse, they reverse the investment, I mean, they sell USD and buy JPY, so the excange rate becomes lower. It's the just current situation.
What interests me is that the rised interest rate of U.S.A. makes USD weak. According to the market convention, the rised interest rate makes the currency stronger.

Thank you for the explanation. When it comes to the rising interest rate, why do you think the market convention mentioned that it makes the currency stronger?

That's a good question. The higher interest rate is attractive for investors, so the investors buy that country's currency and invest in the country. This process makes the currency stronger. However, the current situation is not so easy. Not a few people consider that the American raised interest rate will crush the American stock market, and the world economy will be in recession. It's said that FRB will raise the interest rate more.

It's said that FRB will raise the interest rate more.

1. This is a more understandable and common word arrangement
2. You may use this pronoun as an alternative so you won't have to keep repeating similar words in one sentence which causes redundancy
Thank you for the explanation. That sounds like a troubling condition. What do you think is the best way to invest?

Treasury notes are the best investment when the market environment is getting worse, but it might not work this time. Because, the notes are too expensive, and they have a high possibility of depreciation. In my opinion, investing in gold is the better way to survive in recession. However, if it will not go into recession, such investment would rather become worse one, so it's not easy.

Treasury notes are the best investment when the market environment is getting worse. But it might not work this time, because the notes are too expensive, and they have a high possibility of depreciation. In my opinion, investing in gold is a better way to survive in a recession. However, if the recession is not present, such investment would rather become worse, so it's not easy.

1. You can already end this sentence by putting a period. The next word then becomes the beginning of a new sentence.
2. You can still continue your sentence here by putting a comma
3. This is a better article to use when talking about general information
4. No need to put "one" at the end of the sentence as the thought is already understood without it
There are many people who claim that the future of Japanese economy doesn't look bright. What do you think about it?

I partly agree with that opinion. The Japanese population is being decreased, so the size of economics will be small. However, I think new business will be born and keep develop economy in Japan, because the quality of Japanese education is still high. The most important thing is to keep this education level, though I don't think the Japanese government could deal with it.

I partly agree with that opinion. The Japanese population is decreasing, so the size of economics will be small. However, I think new businesses will be born and keep developing the economy in Japan because the quality of Japanese education is still high. The most important thing is to keep this education level, though I don't think the Japanese government could deal with it.

1. This is a better verb form to use here since the event is uncontrollable. If you say "being decreased", it could mean that the government is intentionally prohibiting citizens to produce more children
2. Use a plural noun when talking about general information
3. Maintain the progressive form of the verb since you are discussing actions that are yet to happen in the future
4. Add this article to complete the structure
Why do you think that the Japanese government is not going to be able to deal with all these questions?

Because they focus on older people in order to be elected at the next election. The Japanese age distribution is distorted as an aging society, so the policy tends to be for older people. I mean, the budget is distributed to social security rather than education for youngers.

1. Corrected spelling. This is another term similar to "younger people".
