Nikkei Hits 32-Month High on Weaker Yen


By DANIEL INMAN

Japanese stocks hit a 32-month high early Tuesday, after the yen continued to weaken and ahead of the Bank of Japan's policy meeting next week.

Japanese markets reopened Tuesday after they were shut for a public holiday Monday. The U.S. dollar was a touch higher against the yen Tuesday at ¥89.58, adding to Monday's advance and paving the way for further gains in Japanese stocks.

The Nikkei was up 1.0% at 10,913.87 after rising as high as 10,934.31 in early trading, its highest level since April 30, 2010. Exporters continued their advance: Honda Motor 7267.TO +1.04% was up 1.0% and Canon was 1.2% higher.

The next major event scheduled in Japan is the Bank of Japan's policy meeting, which will take place next Monday and Tuesday. Investors are eager to see whether the central bank bends to the new government's will and adopts a 2.0% inflation target.

In China, the main event this week will be the release of its fourth quarter growth figures, due Friday morning. In recent months, Chinese stocks have rallied on hopes that Asia's largest economy is picking up. Friday's data will be another chance to gauge whether the recovery remains on track.

More broadly, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's speech Monday gave some solace to markets. Mr. Bernanke said that he was still not satisfied with the state of the economy, indicating that the Fed is still committed to expanding its balance sheet to stimulate its economy. The speech clears some confusion caused by the most recent Fed policy meeting minutes which suggested that the central bank could end its bond buying program sooner than many had expected.

South Korea's Kospi dropped 0.6% with gains in car companies unable to offset a drop in the index's largest constituent: Hyundai Motor 005380.SE +1.44% and Kia Motors 000270.SE 0.00% were up 1.4% and 0.4% respectively, while Samsung Electronics 005930.SE -1.80% lost 1.8%.

Australia's S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.2%.

how powerful words can be! Yen down that much on smart talk only

Japs repatriated all YEN they need for next year or 2, and now go back to where it belongs = 75

Highly unlikely that was a quick stop run. If the move is real you don't drop that fast & retrace that fast.

Time to buy for some some quick 40-50 pip profits back up to the 89.6 resistance?

It's possible but at the time of day it happened it seems more like a run on the stops than anything, liquidity is low & trade has been getting crowded on yen crosses so why not shake em out first & then continue.

Last week there has been a similar correction, and then price extended its rally north.
I’m tempted to wait for today’s close and reload with new long positions… what do you think?

Small size & a wide stop, wait till your a head of the trade and slowly add in if it confirms your right. Trade is getting crowded so shakeouts will be in a couple of hundred pip ranges IMO

Well done!

What was going through your mind when price reached 84? Did you consider exiting, or taking partial profit?

Nope, didnt think about exiting at all. I thought it would at least pull back a bit and give me a nice entry to buy another lot, but nothing... just busted 84 and kept on going and going.

Still waiting for the pull back so I can get in at another nice entry point.
