Why is the Yen Strong Amid Crisis?

A spiraling crisis caused by the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear drama has turned into a financial crisis for the world’s third largest economy.

On the other hand, I felt totally relax for the past entire week by not looking at the stock market. I cannot deny that sometimes stock market did affect my emotion and give me some pressures, if I'm too close to it. It makes me tired and lost concentration to do other things.
