Japan Upper House chief: Should temporarily close Tokyo stock, forex markets to prevent turmoil – Kyodo

I don't imagine that Japan would close the FX market, but if they did, what happens to any positions that may be open at the time?
This came over the wires shortly after that statement.

I wonder what, if anything, will be the outcome of th G7 conference call tomorrow. I wonder if Noda will get the nod to intervene......maybe she swissy will be keen to play as well......hmmmmm. I don't expect anything from Noda until then though.

Dare we say that on the Yen Index the next big level is yesterdays resistance?

Funny how analysts now talking about 68 and possible extension

to 63 Why not Zero? What I don't understand in general is why

Dollar going down, while USA is in the Best situation among all of those

EUR zone included.. Why USD humiliated so badly? Yes, interest rates

are at 0% but so do others have for GBP or EUR. Perhaps Japanese

have to pay for damages and that's why there is demand for the YEN,

but they will also have to pay for FOOD, OIL, Construction Materials

and this is all priced in USD, so they will have to SELL YEN and buy all

of this. Anyways, we'll see how it goes..

Well, I don't really understand it either.....I see many explanations for this rise in the Yen, but nothing makes sense to me. Perhaps I'm just thick!!!

i see ur point... and a do agree with u!!!!
now what is happenning in the japanese market is only a speculation!!! this can be last, perhaps, two weeks... until japanese government release the real situation there, the data of death, unemployed....
so i think that the iene can valorize more, but is matter of time fall.

Right, cause at this point I feel like Tsunami hit Texas and 9 magnitude

earthquake happens near US New Jersey Nuclear plant instead of Japan.
