- Monday, July 9, 2012, 3:13 AM The euro is +0.1% at $1.2302 after earlier touching a two-year low of $1.2225, with investors pessimistic about the outcome of today's meeting of eurozone finmins despite the unexpected agreements forged at last month's parley of the bloc's leaders. JGBs are seen as a haven, and the price of 10-year Japanese bond futures rise to their highest since October 2010. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Sunday, July 1, 2012, 8:01 PM Japan's quarterly Tankan survey of large manufacturing comes in at -1 vs. an expected -4, and against the first quarter's -3. The yen ticks up on the upside surprise, now ¥79.84 to the dollar. 1 Comment [Global & FX, Breaking News]
- Thursday, June 21, 2012, 1:56 AM Tokyo continues its recent advances as a weaker yen supports its exporters, but other regional markets are trading down following China's weak manufacturing data and limited action from the Fed. Japan +1%. Hong Kong -0.8%. China -1.4%. India -0.2%. USD +0.25% to ¥79.66. Comment! [Global & FX, On the Move]
- Friday, June 15, 2012, 2:39 AM Japan is likely to default before Europe does, possibly by 2017, says Takeshi Fujimaki, a former adviser to George Soros. If Japan defaults, the yen could weaken to 400-500 to the dollar and the yields on benchmark 10-year bonds could surge above 80%. He recommends Japanese investors buy assets denominated in U.S. dollars and other strong, developed-nation currencies. 5 Comments [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, June 5, 2012, 8:48 AM Japan finmin Azumi is the first to hit the wires following the G-7 conference call, and he's talking about how the strong yen is hurting his country's economy. He says the group agreed to work together to cooperate on extreme fx moves. The yen promptly takes a tumble, dollar/yen rising to ¥78.46 from ¥78.25. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Sunday, June 3, 2012, 9:04 PM Yen bulls feel their oats, pressing bets despite official threats to take measures to weaken the currency. Focusing on the nominal value of the yen is misleading, say strategists. Persistent deflation means dollar/yen would have to fall to ¥55 (from ¥78 today) for the yen to equal its strength of the mid-90s. Meanwhile, the Topix is off 2.2% tonight - if it holds, it will be the lowest close in 3 decades. 5 Comments [Global & FX]
- Friday, June 1, 2012, 12:08 PM Japanese finmin Azumi ups the intervention rhetoric, saying speculators are taking advantage of financial uncertainty in Europe to "conspicuously" drive up the yen. "We'll respond decisively," says Vice finmin Nakao. The dollar made a sharp move higher vs. the yen just after the payroll report, with some speculating Tokyo had a hand. 3 Comments [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, May 30, 2012, 1:39 PM One more from Einhorn: Greenlight remains (unprofitably) short the yen, but notes a catalyst for maybe making this trade work. Over the next year, 5 of 9 BOJ governors will be replaced, including the Chairman. Noting one nominee has already been rejected as too hawkish, Einhorn sees the slots being filled by a new guard ready to aggressively take action against deflation. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Thursday, May 24, 2012, 4:10 AM BOJ governor Shirakawa says the bank is committed to easing, but won't do so solely to weaken the yen. Shirakawa adds the "biggest factor affecting currency moves now is investors' risk aversion," and there's no evidence that an expanded monetary base will weaken the currency. Currently: USD -0.13% to ¥79.36. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, May 16, 2012, 8:11 AM Here's a cute one: The BOJ asset purchase program stumbled last night when the bank failed to meet its goal of purchasing ¥600B in 1 and 2-year paper as just €480.5B was offered up to be sold. "There is nothing to invest in when (banks) sell short-term notes," says an analyst. Two-year Japanese paper yields 0.11% ... "nothing to invest in." 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, May 8, 2012, 11:08 AM The government adds the word "promptly" to previous efforts to goad the BOJ into achieving an inflation rate with a plus sign in front of it, according to the latest policy meeting minutes. At least at that meeting (April 9-10), the BOJ resisted the pressure, leaving policy on hold. The yen has strengthened since, the dollar buying ¥79.77 today vs. nearly ¥82 then. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, May 8, 2012, 7:26 AM The BOJ stepped in to try and prop up the stock market last night, purchasing about $500M of stock ETFs, and another $28M in real estate ETFs. Tokyo +0.7%. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, May 1, 2012, 10:10 PM "Why did 10-year Treasurys yield 14% under the vice-like grip of iron-man Volcker, but yield just 1.8% under ... Weimar-like Bernanke," asks Hugh Hendry, defining his weapons in the global macro business as irony and paradox. Hendry's latest investor letter describes China's epic, credit-fueled binge, and why the crisis that started in the U.S. and moved to Europe, is about to end in Asia - and how he's playing it by buying CDS on Japanese corporations. 6 Comments [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, May 1, 2012, 8:59 AM "If you think the ministry is talking its eyes off the market, feeling there is little it can do about the yen's gain, you're wrong," says a MOF official after BOJ easing moves and "verbal intervention" have failed to reverse a rally in the currency. Currency traders are feeling their oats, believing only a far weaker dollar (say ¥75 instead of current ¥79.8) will bring about anything stronger than talk. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Monday, April 30, 2012, 10:45 AM The dollar dips below ¥80 for the first time in 2 months as one of 2012's favorite shorts - the yen - burns a few bears. After falling more 10% in a straight line in February and early March, the yen has recouped much of the loss due to: 1) the BOJ again being too timid with easing, or 2) a leading indicator of renewed global financial stress. FXY +0.6%. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Friday, April 27, 2012, 11:59 AM Japan intervened (selling yen, buying dollars) into 2011's fx market to the tune of ¥14.3T ($180B) as it fought the yen strengthening to post-war lows following the earthquake and again in the fall as equity markets panicked. The MOF has a little to show for its work, the dollar buying ¥80.46 today vs. around ¥75 for the low. Comment! [Global & FX]
