- Thursday, February 14, 10:06 AM The G-20 draft communique pledges to refrain from competitive devaluation and says the group is committed to cutting global imbalances and avoiding foreign-exchange rate misalignment. The yen (FXY +0.3%) remains stronger on the session, the euro (FXE -0.8%) significantly weaker. 5 Comments [Global & FX, Breaking News]
- Thursday, February 14, 7:36 AM Why do these stories always come out after a big move? George Soros lets it slip he has been way short yen during its big move lower and has scored a $1B profit. Other big names cashing in are Einhorn, Loeb, and Bass. To Einhorn and Bass' credit, they've been publicly short the currency for some time. FXY flat premarket. 9 Comments [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, February 13, 8:23 AM Yesterday's G-7 statement was meant to slow the pace of the yen's slide, not to signal concern over the currency's current level, according to a source within the group. "There was a concern it may overshoot." FXY +0.2% premarket. The yen's strength following yesterday's release and clarification had the Nikkei off 1% last night. DXJ -0.5% premarket. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, February 12, 9:03 AM The yen (FXY) spikes higher after a G-7 official says the group's earlier statement was misinterpreted - it was meant to signal concern about excess moves in the Japanese currency. The dollar buys ¥93.58 down from ¥94.30 moments ago. 4 Comments [Global & FX, On the Move, Breaking News]
- Tuesday, February 12, 8:13 AM Negative real rates finally come to Japan. This chart of Japanese 5-year index-linkers from Ed Bradford shows the yield turning negative last November - right around the time stocks took off and the yen began its steep decent. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Monday, February 11, 4:52 PM A big move late in the yen (FXY -1.2% in regular trade, -0.6% AH) takes the currency to its weakest vs. the dollar in more than 2 years, the greenback now buying ¥94.32. The hedged Japan equity fund (DXJ) nods in approval, +2.4%. The Nikkei was closed Monday, but look for fireworks tonight. Earlier: The government drops all pretense and calls for Nikkei 13K by March 31. 5 Comments [Global & FX, On the Move]
- Monday, February 11, 9:45 AM Forget inflation targets, Japan now has a stock market target and it's Nikkei 13K by the end of March, according to Economy and Finance minster Akira Amari. If Japan has its own David Tepper, we're pretty sure we know what he's doing. Tokyo was closed overnight, but DXJ gains 1.2%. The yen slides, FXY -0.6%. 16 Comments [Global & FX, Quick Ideas]
- Monday, February 11, 5:22 AM G7 U.S. and European policy makers have reportedly been discussing issuing a statement reinforcing a commitment to let the market set forex prices and not unilateral interventions. The idea is to avert what some have called a "currency war," although Japan is unlikely to agree to such a statement, given that weakening the yen is a stated policy goal. The talks come ahead of a G20 meeting in Russia on Friday. 3 Comments [Global & FX, Top Stories]
- Friday, February 8, 5:48 AM Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso has said that the yen's sharp drop since November has been too fast. "The yen's sudden move from 78 or 79 to 90 was not something we anticipated," Aso said. His comments come amid international criticism of the falling yen and talk of "currency wars," and might be a sop ahead of a G20 meeting next week. Following the remarks, the yen is +1.2% vs the dollar at 92.464. Comment! [Global & FX, Top Stories, On the Move]
- Thursday, February 7, 4:02 PM A look beneath the hood of Schwab's (SCHW) recently unveiled lineup of 105 commission-free ETFs shows an impressive breadth of asset class coverage, including currency, physical metals and equal-weight sector ETFs not previously available for commission-free trading. Notably absent: iShares single country funds, 10 of which are available among the 101 ETFs TD Ameritrade (AMTD) offers commission-free. Comment!
- Wednesday, February 6, 7:01 AM The early retirement of BOJ Governor Shirakawa is cause for a party in Tokyo, with the Nikkei soaring 3.8%. The dollar strengthened vs. yen - nearly tapping on 2009 levels - before backing off to about unchanged on the session. BOJ board member Takehiro Sato says achieving the new 2% inflation goal would require as-yet untried QE methods. Can't wait. EWJ +1% premarket. 8 Comments [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, February 5, 8:17 AM The Yen Trust ETF (FXY) -1.3% premarket after BOJ Governor Shirakawa steps down three weeks ahead of schedule. PM Abe has made it clear he wants someone on the job who will be bolder with monetary policy (the U.S. has a couple to offer). Currently speaking at a news conference, Shirakawa says he's under no pressure to resign early. Sure. 2 Comments [Global & FX, On the Move]

The week's ETF movers - Gainers: VNM +5.9%; BRF +3.4%; BNO +2.9%; AMJ +2.3%; PSLV +2.3%.
ETF Losers: UNG -5%; FXY -2.1%; TLT -2.1%; TAN -1.7%; JNK -1.6%. Comment! [On the Move] - Friday, February 1, 9:16 AM As weak as the yen has been vs. the dollar, it's been even weaker vs. the euro, which continues to grind out new highs against nearly all the planet's other paper currencies. The Germans have begun growling a bit, but with unexpectedly falling unemployment and rising manufacturing, the economy (nor the DAX) is showing no ill-effect. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Monday, January 28, 11:25 AM "It is vital that both the government and the BOJ each commit to ... achieving the 2% (inflation) target as soon as possible," says Japan PM Shinzo Abe in his first address to parliament since taking power. His words signal no backdown despite the near-universal international unease with the policy expressed by the Davos crew last week. 3 Comments [Global & FX]
- Friday, January 25, 2:51 PM "I only hope those in charge of managing my retirement accounts aren't among the Japan-bulls-come-lately," writes William Pesek, having lost count of the number of pump-priming, money-printing, devaluation rodeos Japan has been through over the past 20 years. Don't forget this is Shinzo Abe's second time as PM, and his first attempt was a crashing failure. 3 Comments [Global & FX]

Chris DeMuth Jr.: The constant leverage trap degrades the value of both over time (-1.26% for the bull and -17.92% for the bear over the past year).
-
Chris DeMuth Jr.: Also, there is risk from the sponsors. And one can front run how they are traded/structured. I have no position in TMV but would short it.

neobliviscar: 2:1 women over men, but yeah SoHo boy toys. Had I to guess, I'd say the strippers would be the DB, UBS, and Blackrock crowd. -
Dr. Kris: Personally, I wouldn't know. I'm basing my guess from what is reported in the media and from friends on Wall Street.
