In Thread: JPY
Not sure about USD/JPY. NFP is not overly optimistic considering more than 8 mill jobs were axed since Jan, 2008 and a mere 162,000 created. Not clear how many temporary. That keeps CPI at bay BUT
Japan is in a deflation down spiral hence has "negative" inflation. EURO zone CPI goes up and up despite of only low paid new jobs.

I trade USD/JPY but closed over weekend made +200 pips. Trade EUR/CAD EUR/SEK EUR/NOK EUR/CHF all short. Closed USD/CAD short opened USD/CAD long. Opened AUD/USD short.
And of course EUR/USD short opened at 1.36 .

Agree on BDI. Has anyone access to most recent BDTI Baltic dirty tanker ( i.e. crude oil) index?
Imo industry metals copper lead nickel do not reflect supply demand - supply inclusive of LME & Shanghai stocks outstrips demand. Not sure about crude but imo commodities are USD inflation hedges. This could change if FED tightens discount by more than a quarter.

In Thread: EUR
Consider Tsy sells record USTs but FED is tightening , Euro countries sell record bonds but ECB is expanding. Even if they herald the opposite. EUR could top 1.36 but it will not hold. EUR is a political
currency and it is common European economy politics, the lack of any, that got EUR bonds in trouble.

Jap 10 y bonds are bought back. I watch AUD/JPY I think JPY rising against commodity currencies
should indicate yen carry nears end.
