Japan’s largest life insurance companies are reportedly reducing their hedging positions against a potential yen rebound, according to a Bloomberg report. The nine biggest insurers in the country have only 47% of their foreign securities protected by derivatives, indicating their confidence that the yen will continue to weaken.
