When? Two years ago?I dont think so, JPY has been trading strongly against other currencies.
//----2016 wil see a global recesion....
Although Brexit is a huge growth restraint, it won't be enough to turn 2016 into a global recession (after all, half a year has passed without Brexit with a rather good growth). It is also doubtful that it will turn 2017 GDP growth negative worldwide because its effect will mostly be local - UK + Eurozone (partially). Emerging markets will not get affected by it significantly.
if the uk leves the eu. we may see other coutry leave? this is bad for eu which could make whole world into recession
