LONDON/SINGAPORE/TOKYO, Sept 4 (Reuters) - Six weeks after hitting a four-decade low against the dollar, the tide appears to be turning for the battered yen as a host of factors finally smoke out traders who have spent years betting against the ****** anese currency.
While central bank rate hikes and record currency intervention have failed to provide lasting support for the yen, new tailwinds from capital repatriation, unwinding carry trades and U.S. political pressure are now giving short speculators cause to rethink their long-term game.
The yen is on track for a roughly 2% surge against the greenback this week — the most since a rare joint U.S. and ****** an intervention at the end of July to lift the yen.
"The market psychology around the yen appears to be changing," said Rong Ren Goh, a fixed income portfolio manager at Eastspring Investments. "Investors seem increasingly reluctant to aggressively short the JPY (yen), particularly with the prospect of a BOJ rate hike in September adding another layer of risk to the trade."

Here’s your open thread for Friday!
School ‘em.
My sumo bout of the day is Asanoyama vs. Oshoma.
Where would you go if money was no object? I’d love to do the thing where you go to a part of ***** an where there are no tourists. Just chill vibes and people who are glad you’re there and interested in showing you things.
Six letters now.
