Could be the China GDP leaked.
Looks more like a sell the rumor thing with Geithner declarations.

That Geithner clown is a real piece of work isn't he?

If Noda has some under his pants, should take advantage right now and buy a huge amount of USD.

Just defending his turf. I kinda wish others would do the same ... we could have post May 6 type volatility!

Not to be confused with this real piece of work ...

That thought crossed my mind too, but I think G20 is too close...or else there's not much under his pants!!

Check this quote; this could be pivotal for where USDJPY is currently at. And if this isn't an indirect approval for BoJ intervention, I don't know what is. Now, the market just needs to believe it. I would love to see a fake bull rally of a few hundred pips - it would be very fitting of Smart Money to give us one!!!

...he [Geithner] put "the major currencies, which are roughly in alignment now," a suggestion that he sees no need for the dollar to sink more than it already has against the euro and yen.

Me gonna watch for a bounce at 81.16/81.32 ... kind of late PA for the Asia session, but I wonder what Frankfurt/London will bring us?

I think that BOJ has had the green light for intervention for a little while now....well....maybe not a green light, but certainly an 'nod and a wink' from USA. The only thing I can put the lack of action down to is the the up coming G20 meeting.....but I really don't know....

I think it's going to be a real shit fest complete with chest puffing, posturing, threatening and very little actually being achieved. That's what my cynical side believes anyway. I hope I'm wrong and that they can all work together.

Yep, the meeting is in Seoul http://g20.korea.net/html/seoul_summit/schedule.asp

I'm be staying out of the market then too.
You're absolutely right. I only expect veiled declarations of cooperation, an "agreement to do something", with nothing of substance. That will be the case because they won't be able to agree on almost anything.

Problem is, in addition to there being different interpretations of how we got here, there is even greater disagreement on how to fix things. And, a fix for one country is often a problem or roadblock to implementation of another's desires.

All I really am hoping for is increased volatility. Not too extreme though - I don't want everything to go to hell in a handbasket just yet.

Although you may be right, I think that the Jap Fin Min is a noob in the Forex market and is still holding his last longs and staring at the screen hoping that the market will soon stop and turn in his favor.

Basically just like every noob trader does a few time before learning a lesson.

Hence his statement that he’s “watching the market very closely”

Not sure if you're kidding or not ... while Noda might well be a noob and fx neophite, that shouldn't matter because in any big machine that operates a sovereign state, there's a consultative approach to figuring out what to do, and the Japanese would especially be like that.

It is absolutely proper to expect that as far as working in and with the currency rate and fx market in Japan, that there is no shortage of technical skill. Problem is the international political one, and the strategy to get the rate range to where not only Japan but other G7s agree; recalling the $4.2+ trillion of daily fx transactions, the powers & interests that lie behind them, and the current WW economic facts & sentiment, are just some of the things that Japan can't control.

While I'd love to see intervention, you can't force a free floating currency to remain somewhere forever, and if you spend hundreds of billions or more getting it there - regardless if it stays there or not - you still have to do an opportunity & scenario cost exercise.

So we come back to international cooperation and getting everyone on the same page; the Geithner comments are a purposeful & interesting step in that direction.

The decline in Japanese corporate demand for financing via bank loans decelerated in July-September from the previous quarter as firms suffered from the impact of the strong yen amid increased uncertainty over the global economy,

US needs to keep Asia sweet, after all they do play a major role in financing US debt. So USA can't really make a stand regarding USD devaluation, it needs to be at a level where Asia is 'happy'. I do sense that there is going to be a joint intervention of some sort to keep everybody more or less happy. That's why I don't expect Yen to go right through current all time high.

A possible HL?

Actually I was being a little sarcastic, hence the sarcasm emoticon.

On a more serious note however, the only was intervention can work is with the support of other countries. Anything less can only deliver short term results.

That being said, I can’t (for the life of me) understand why anyone would think of the Yen as a safe currency. I understand commodity backed currencies but Japan is an electronic backed currency with a low interest rate. I just don’t get it
