Yesterday, Standard & Poor\u2019s announced that their downgrading Japan\u2019s credit ranking from AA- to AA, due to the sluggish economy that doesn\u2019t seem to know how to address its sovereign debt of $11 trillion. This was the first time in nine years that S&P has cut Japan\u2019s credit ranking.<\/p>\n

The market, of course, had an immediate impact to this turn of events, and the Japanese yen instantly depreciated against all the major currencies, including a 100 pips fall against the U.S. dollar <\/a>and the euro and the British pound. In the meantime since then, the yen has corrected come of its losses, but the Japanese currency is still trading at relatively low levels. It now seems that any further comment regarding the Japanese debts are likely to create similar responses in the market.<\/p>\n

\nThe GDP measures that change in the total value of all goods and services produced by the economy, and thus considered to be the primary gauge of the economy\u2019s health.
