Some Features of Foreign Exchange Markets in April OKUDA, Hiroshi On September,, BIS and many Central Banks published surveys of foreign exchange activities that occurred in April. By analyzing these surveys, we can point out the following features: The world excess money which has been produced by fiscal policies and monetary policies QE since Lehman Shock and the Euro crisis, has flowed into international financial markets. This situation has increased the trading amount in foreign exchange markets since by thirty-five percentage points. In spite of the Euro crisis triggered by Greek crisis, the trading amount of Euro in foreign exchange markets has not decreased since. And the function of Euro as the vehicle currency in Europe has been sustained. Though the rise of the Renmin Yuan has attracted attention since last BIS Survey in, the Renmin Yuan still follows the Mexican peso in terms of the trading amount of foreign exchange markets, which shows that the Renmin Yuan has not yet acquired the role of international currency.
