- Monday, April 22, 10:02 AM WisdomTree (WETF) preps the launch of the Germany Hedged Equity Fund - designed to track the company's dividend-weighted index of German stocks while zeroing out currency fluctuations between the greenback and the euro. It's the same recipe the company put to work with Japanese stocks (DXJ) - a blockbuster success this year. Comment! [Financials]
- Tuesday, April 16, 10:48 AM Bumping its position in Japanese equities to 16% overweight from 6%, Credit Suisse says stock prices remain cheap, there is little constraint on how much the BOJ can pump, and it will do so until dollar/yen hits ¥110. Watch money pour into stocks, says CS, once pension funds and retail investors realize inflation is set to rise. EWJ +16% YTD. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, April 16, 8:28 AM After continuing to strengthen sharply in early trade overnight, the yen is back in full retreat, down more than 1% vs. the dollar which is now buying ¥97.88. Along with the big reversal came a big swing in the Nikkei, which fell more than 2% at one point, but closed down just 0.4%. FXY -1.1%, EWJ +0.6%, DXJ +0.5% premarket. Comment! [Global & FX, On the Move]
- Friday, April 12, 9:51 AM WisdomTree (WETF) files for the launch of a small-cap version of its wildly popular Japan hedged equity fund (DXJ). Moving away from Japan but keeping with the currency-hedged theme, the company is also planning similar funds for Korea and the U.K. 1 Comment [Global & FX, Financials]
- Friday, April 12, 1:20 AM All aboard the Kuroda easy money bandwagon: Goldman upgrades Japanese equities looking for a 20% upside to Nikkei 16,000. The BOJ has launched a "credible attack on deflation" and the economy will "emerge from an environment of falling to rising prices." Furthermore, domestic "retail investors are gradually beginning to sniff around looking" for yield. Comment! [Top Stories, Global & FX]
- Thursday, April 11, 3:54 AM The Nikkei jumps 2% to 13,549.16, its highest close since July 2008, as the Bank of Japan's aggressive easing policy continues to turbo charge the market. The yen is up a bit vs the dollar, but is at 99.67 and still threatening 100. Meanwhile, other Asian shares are mixed. Hong Kong +0.2%, China -0.3%, India +0.2%. Comment! [Global & FX, Top Stories, On the Move]
- Monday, April 8, 3:36 PM Satisfied fans of WisdomTree's Japan Hedged Equity Fund (DXJ) might have interest in a currency-hedged Japan fund doing even better (and now starting to garner serious assets), the DBJP. The difference is DBJP's cap-weighted approach which tilts it towards larger companies more likely to export and thus benefit off the plunging yen. Comment! [Global & FX, Quick Ideas]
- Monday, April 8, 1:34 AM The Bank of Japan has started its new aggressive asset-buying program, saying it will acquire ¥1T ($10.3B) of Japanese government bonds with maturities of 5-10 years, and ¥200B of bonds with maturities exceeding 10 years. The purchases are part of the BOJ's plan to inject $1.4T into the economy in under two years. The Nikkei is +2.5% and yen is -1% vs the dollar. 2 Comments [Global & FX, On the Move]
- Sunday, April 7, 8:31 PM The yen (FXY) tumbles another 1% vs. the dollar as a new report suggests the BOJ plans to move fast and move big with JGB purchases. Buying less than ¥93 moments before the BOJ announced aggressive new easing measures Thursday, the dollar this moment is worth ¥98.51. The Nikkei adds 2.8% in early Tokyo trade, giving it a middling 8.6% gain since Thursday. 16 Comments [Global & FX, On the Move]

Friday, April 5, 3:54 AM
Japanese shares jumped as high as 4.7% and passed the psychologically important 13,000 level for the first time since August 2008 before pulling back somewhat to close +1.6% at 12,834 as investors cashed in. Shares continued to be boosted by the BOJ's plan for aggressive monetary easing, which also pushed the yen to as low as 97 to the dollar before the rate moderated to ¥96.39.
Comment! [Global & FX, Top Stories, On the Move] - Thursday, April 4, 11:03 AM It's a true "regime change" at the BOJ, says Citigroup, commenting on the central bank's new easing measures overnight. Gone is any hint of concern about monetizing government paper, and up next may be additional stimulus in the form of equity purchases and loans to small and medium-sized enterprises. The yen (FXY -3.6%) continues a whopper of a move lower, the dollar now at a session-high ¥96.38. The currency-hedged Japan stock ETF (DXJ) gains 7.5% vs. the unhedged EWJ +3.8%. 4 Comments [Global & FX, On the Move]
- Thursday, April 4, 7:06 AM Stock index futures (SPY +0.4%, QQQ +0.4%) post gains after the BOJ outdoes the Fed with the breadth of its stimulative efforts. The Nikkei's 3.2% gain looks even more impressive when considering the index was off 2.3% before the central bank announcement. DXJ +4% premarket. Comment!
- Thursday, April 4, 2:07 AM The Nikkei (NKY) surges and the yen (FXY) plummets after the Bank of Japan starts firing the heavy artillery in its battle against deflation. Under new Governor Haruhiko Kuroda, the BOJ is changing its target when setting policy from the overnight call rate to the monetary base, which the bank aims to double within two years by purchasing ¥60-70T of assets a year, including government bonds of all maturities and not just short-term debt. The plan is open-ended and was unanimously approved. The Nikkei is +1.3% after being lower earlier, while the dollar is +1.5% vs the yen. (PR) 14 Comments [Global & FX, Top Stories, On the Move]
- Wednesday, April 3, 9:31 AM WisdomTree's (WETF) Japan Hedged Equity Fund (DXJ) is the ETF story of 2013, pulling in about $4B in AUM in Q1 (it started the year with just $1.6B) as investors got bullish on Japanese shares and bearish on the yen. The flows pushed WisdomTree to the #6 spot on the U.S. ETF industry league table with AUM of $25.1B, and helped the stock to a 69% gain YTD. 1 Comment [Financials]
- Wednesday, April 3, 3:07 AM Haruhiko Kuroda has been chairing his first board meeting as the Governor of the Bank of Japan, with expectations high that the BOJ will push ahead with more powerful easing. However, prior to the two-day meeting, which ends tomorrow, Kuroda was reportedly finding it difficult to build a consensus about how far the bank should go. Kuroda might be able to force through his ideas but he risks dividing the board. Comment! [Global & FX, Top Stories]
- Tuesday, April 2, 10:23 AM "It's too good of a long-term strategic play to try and get cute," says Jeff Gundlach, advising not to try and time his long Japanese stocks/short yen idea even as it's seemingly run too far too fast. The DXJ - maybe the ETF story of the year (along with sponsor WETF) - tumbled 5% yesterday, hit by a combination of a diving Nikkei and rising yen (FXY). Comment! [Global & FX, Quick Ideas]
