Quoting IsotonicDislikedso for buying the yen you could of started scaling in from feb once you saw a clear break rather than you did last year (merlin)...same might of been true for bonds as well.Ignored
Quoting narafaDislikedIn the case of Japan, yes, it is an advantage to keep the value of the currency low, because Japan is an exporter, thus when keeping the value of the Yen lower, their exports to the US are cheap...When the Yen rallies, exporters get hurt because their products are more expensive now, that's why the BOJ interferes in the currency market to keep the Yen down within a certain range...
Thanks,

but enough talk about pain, did you see the yen today? of course it is a dollar related move today, but its clear that the BOJ is not there anymore. a few months ago they would have never let the yen move like that.Ignored

Quoting IsotonicDislikedok while i've got my thinking cap on...
i don't know how many other traders watch these short interest rate charts but to me they seem invaluable to determine when central banks may act on their currencies. the value for fundies has been obvious to me for a while now but i'm surprised nobody else is really paying attention to these charts (could be wrong on this).
for example on the eurodollar i haven't seen a single case of where the futures have been wrong in one year now. not one month. so i wonder why more technician's don't look at them?Ignored
Quoting merlinDislikedim with you buddy, short term rates are always on my screen. if i see a move, and im wondering to myself "is this move 'for real'?", i just look at the bonds. if bonds are moving it puts an exclamaion point on the currency move.Ignored
