Currency swings “could potentially be the difference between a positive earnings season and a negative earnings season,” said Michael Field, European strategist at Morningstar. Companies are likely to remain wary of yen appreciation and may also lower earnings guidance, said JPMorgan strategists including Rie Nishihara.

A prolonged trade war would also weigh on global risk sentiment, further supporting haven demand for the currency.

In Europe, several corporates have already raised currency-related losses at the start of the earning season, including warnings from British American Tobacco Plc and rival Imperial Brands Plc.
