The IMF says, "the Japanese economy has shown resilience to the U.S. slowdown and global financial turmoil" and "the yen remains undervalued relative to its longer-term value in real effective terms."

IMF Executive Board Concludes 2008 Article IV Consultation with Japan Public Information Notice (PIN) No. 08/92

July 29, 2008

"On monetary policy, given the low underlying inflation and the uncertain economic outlook, Directors saw little risk in delaying monetary tightening. They supported the Bank of Japan's approach of adopting a "wait and see" attitude and standing ready to respond flexibly should downside risks to economic activity materialize, or should inflation expectations worsen. Directors welcomed the Bank of Japan's enhanced communication strategy, which should strengthen public understanding of the authorities' policy intentions and help guide inflation expectations. Directors looked forward to a gradual normalization of interest rates once downside risks to growth recede."

"Directors supported the authorities' policy of a market determined exchange rate. Noting that the authorities have not intervened in the foreign exchange market since March 2004, Directors supported the authorities' policy of limiting intervention to counter excessive fluctuations and disorderly movements of the exchange rate. Directors noted the staff assessment that, although the focus of macroeconomic and structural policies is appropriate, the yen remains undervalued relative to its longer-term value in real effective terms. They also recognized that capital outflows related to Japanese investors' international diversification of assets might continue to contribute to the yen's weakness in the near future. Directors generally noted that, over the longer term, the yen could be expected to appreciate on the back of policy reforms that are expected to yield widespread productivity gains. A number of Directors underscored the importance of incorporating structural capital account factors into current account-based analyses of the equilibrium exchange rate."

hi naminori
yes i agree with this phrase "Directors looked forward to a gradual normalization of interest rates once downside risks to growth recede"
but i think that we must see this gradual normalization of interrest rates by BOJ in the past months.

Ok, but the immediate things that come to mind are that saying "good probability" doesn't make it probable, and I'm clueless as to what might make it more probable now than it's been over the last many weeks, and you didn't say...

As far as a long term trade, and this could be quite a long term before you hit either TP or SL, paying swap and long term are a curious mix of concepts... Don't forget to add the swap you pay onto your 300 pip SL, which is more probable with current market direction, especially if it takes a while. That will change your R/R... Hope this is a demo trade or "nano" lot.
