{quote} If not now, then it will come soon. The BOJ hold (off the top of my head) 40% of all JGBs - these will never be sold back to the open market, meaning a de-facto monetising of debt has already occurred. Helicopter money will be a more open and upfront way of tackling the dire problems facing their economy. With or without immigration (which is badly needed to offset the dreadful demographics, but to which the Japanese are totally adverse), some serious fiscal expansion is needed to inject some demand into the economy.
It was a miss, only an increase in ETF buying, everything else remained unchanged, they didnt have the balls to do it in the end......

...and that was it for the CBs play in the summer. An underwhelming BOJ in the borderline of flop. Coordinate action is clear now, all major CB flopped/soft turning down the heat on global jitters in July. (BOE first, ECB, FED and finally BOJ).

--> Solid numbers from the US in all fronts, slightly positive from EZ both in the core and periphery, a mixed bag from the UK solid before brexit, soft early numbers post, and the never ending comatose Japan in perfect employment but flat as a pancake with deflation and sluggishness slowly eroding their economic sustainability in the future(present).

--> We completed the poker with a rather dull hand. Status quo guarantee in both political and macro numbers as we enter in the peak of the summer. The can was kicked for the autumn while for trading .... same levels, same trades, same all....

=> For the macro flows:
All micro and short term levels will be raised for today play in UJ with 106.4x as only rain maker

  1. Flop on size of QE or in rates, scope and extension [super check] for a direct move 105.5x [check] -> 103.8x [check] and play the zigzag back to 106.4x for the summer.

For those in the yen play. 'Zig' completed from 105.5x with the test and overshoot 103.8x but more importantly is 'choose your poison time' for the 'Zag' with the Asian close, on the rest of the board nothing new, european session will be over with Asia going home.

That bear 30m bar has set the range at 105.64 and 102.70, fading both extremes can be an option for myself if prices get there.....me think..
trading is simple but is simple is not easy.

If we are in the "ZAG" trend, does it matter the time? it will be up (straight forward), am I wrong?

...and that was it for the European session. Awful business numbers keep coming in tbe UK. Second major bank reporting troubles (Barclays this time) and property sector stocks getting hammered. We are crossing the point of no return, it will blow very soon without a hand(little more than that) from the BOE.

Odds of BOE bazooka expectations in the next meeting increased by staggering +75% chance for July close. Monthly roll play in Sterling with the European close. While coincidentally Bank stress test results at the same time for the play in Euro.

On Equities, NY will decide if we complete the extension quickly and take profit for the sumner.

Strong reminder of reality to the bastards riding the pig on free money from US number.

Eyes on the open as Dollar is caught in the wrog side. Expecting equities to start clearing after Euorpe goes home.

Tracking very closely Euro.

Yeap Dollar was caught on the wrong side. NY will prolly softly ride the pig one more time as the boat is fully loaded in Equities.

Whatever the case, very well done to all that rode the current leg in Euro from 1.097x, 200 ticks non stop rally leave no doubt that was a good short term catch. Current highs are obviously naked but now 1.116x is the one and only one (rather unconventional level) to track for the M roll.

Not much to do except wait to see how it pans out. Day is far from over after the short-circuit in key US numbers, flops in all CBs, with Sterling in play on the close and some potential risk news on the Euro later ...
