The recent unwinding in carry trades has more room to run as the yen remains one of the most undervalued currencies, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co.

“We are not done by any stretch,” Arindam Sandilya, co-head of global FX strategy, said on Bloomberg TV. “The carry trade unwind, at least within the speculative investing community, is somewhere between 50%-60% complete.”
