- Friday, March 8, 7:18 AM The yen (FXY) resumes its bear market, tumbling 1% vs. the dollar to its weakest level since 2009 - the dollar now buying ¥95.74. The Nikkei responds, gaining 2.6% overnight, also to levels not seen since 2009. EWJ - unhedged against the currency - up just 0.3% premarket. Keep an eye on DXJ for the big movement today. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Thursday, March 7, 2:50 AM As widely anticipated, the Bank of Japan has left its monetary policy unchanged in Masaaki Shirakawa's last meeting as governor, with the BOJ's key interest rate staying at 0-0.1% and its asset asset-purchase program at ¥101T. The real action is expected to come at the bank's next meeting in early April, which is set to be led by prospective governor and uber dove Haruhiko Kuroda. (PR) Comment! [Global & FX, Top Stories]
- Wednesday, March 6, 3:01 PM Chilled relations between Japan and China get a little cooler over the sinking yen (FXY -0.8%), with CIC President Gao Xiqing warning Japan not use its neighbors as a "garbage bin." "Starting a currency war would not only be dangerous for others, but eventually be bad for yourself." 2 Comments [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, March 6, 8:00 AM (Likely) incoming BOJ Governor Kuroda is about to "hit (a) wall of reality," says Credit Suisse vice chair and former BOJ member Atsushi Mizuno. He expects Kuroda will try to get creative a la Bernnake, but in the end the bureaucracy will win out and Japan will be left with "an extension of the current policy framework." After the Nov-Jan collapse, the yen (FXY) has been about flat for the last 5 weeks. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, March 5, 4:58 PM Gundlach: Japan is the "pace car" in the great global debasement race, he says, continuing to be bullish on Japanese stocks (EWJ, DWJ) and bearish on the yen (FXY). One interesting slide shows an explosion higher in consumer confidence there since Abe made his yen devaluation policy clear. He's not bearish on JGBs however, as the BOJ - like the Fed - has a big checkbook and can buy up all the debt the government can issue. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Monday, March 4, 1:20 PM More on Gundlach: "Can you imagine (the President) walking around the U.S. saying 'I'm going to inflate. I want to inflate. My policy is inflation," he asks. That's what the President wants, says Gundlach, but at least he doesn't say it. In Japan, the PM is actually saying it. He sees the yen (FXY) headed to 200 to the dollar (93.37 now). 2 Comments [Global & FX, Quick Ideas]
- Sunday, March 3, 9:02 PM Haruhiko Kuroda - nominated to be next BOJ governor - ratchets up expectations for the central bank's first meeting under his leadership (April 3-4), telling parliament he will do whatever it takes to end deflation. Adding a bit of humor to his confirmation hearing, he says the BOJ's easing isn't aimed at weakening the yen. Dollar/yen -0.1% at ¥93.43. The NIkkei +0.7%. 9 Comments [Global & FX]
- Thursday, February 28, 2:06 AM The yen is lower against the dollar following Haruhiko Kuroda's nomination as the BOJ governor, with the greenback +0.2% at ¥92.41. The Nikkei rises 2.1% after falling sharply in the previous two sessions. Kuroda has advocated an inflation target for the BOJ for over a decade and reckons Japan can hit 2% within two years. 3 Comments [Global & FX, Top Stories, On the Move]
- Thursday, February 28, 1:55 AM As expected, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has nominated Asian Development Bank President and uber dove Haruhiko Kuroda as the next Governor of the Bank of Japan. Abe also picked academic Kikuo Iwata, who backs unconventional monetary policy, and BOJ official Hiroshi Nakaso as deputy governors. The nominations will need opposition support to receive parliamentary approval. Comment! [Global & FX, Top Stories]
- Monday, February 25, 3:04 PM One could have done a lot worse today than fading loud reflexive moves Sunday afternoon in the yen (FXY) and the pound (FXB). Both opened down big after important, but likely price-in news, and 24 hours later they're trading higher, the yen sharply so. 2 Comments [Global & FX, On the Move]
- Sunday, February 24, 5:12 PM The yen (FXY) opens 1% weaker vs. the dollar on news of a dovish selection for BOJ Governor. Sterling (FXB) opens -0.7% vs. the greenback following the Friday evening downgrade of the U.K. credit rating. At $1.5077, the pound is at its weakest level vs. the dollar in more than 2 years. It bottomed at around $1.35 during the financial crisis. Comment! [Global & FX, On the Move]
- Sunday, February 24, 2:07 PM Japanese PM Shinzo Abe is reportedly set to nominate Asian Development Bank President Haruhiko Kuroda as BOJ Governor. It's hard to think of a bigger dove. "The Bank of Japan must be prepared to do anything and everything" to achieve its 2% inflation target, he said in a January interview. Look for a big opening pop in the Nikkei, and a big opening drop in the yen. 11 Comments [Global & FX, Top Stories]
- Thursday, February 21, 9:05 AM Are investors having 2nd thoughts about the Abe trade - long Nikkei, short the yen (FXY)? Markets have lost count of the number of prime ministers promising change Japan's bureaucracy has chewed up and spit out (this is Abe's 2nd go-around). Market reaction to Abe's selection for next BOJ Governor will be key to seeing whether the stock rally, yen devaluation will continue. EWJ -0.7% premarket. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, February 19, 11:19 AM Jim Rogers used to call G-7/G-20 meetings the equivalent of professional wrestling, but Bridgwater sugar-coats it a little bit, calling discussions there about currency wars "more of a semantic dance than a substantive matter." Change in monetary policy is the same as change in currency policy, says Bridgwater, and countries (Japan) will manage monetary policy for their own domestic purposes. (h/t fed_speak). Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, February 19, 2:59 AM The yen is +0.5% at 93.46 to the dollar after Japanese ministers play down the possibility of the country buying foreign bonds as part of its attempt pull the economy out of deflation. PM Shinzo Abe had said yesterday that such a move was an option. Meanwhile, Economy Minister Akira Amari says the government will choose a new BOJ governor after Abe returns from a trip to the U.S. this week. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Monday, February 18, 2:48 AM S&P gives new Japanese PM Shinzo Abe a semi-thumbs up after reiterating the country's rating at AA- with a negative outlook. Abe's policies will be "critical" if Japan "is to arrest a prolonged decline in its sovereign credit standing," S&P said. The firm added that it would cut the country's rating if it "thought that government policies would be ineffective" in solving Japan's deflation and growth problems. 2 Comments [Global & FX, Top Stories]
