This means that the Japanese Yen will therefore increase in value against the US dollar because the US Dollar is able to buy goods at a price 3% more than the Japanese Yen can meaning it's value must have dropped in relation to the Yen that can buy at prices 3% less signifying that it is stronger by 3%.
