Market thinking is that the TFX represents 10% of the total Japanese
margin (retail) FX market, so it would seem that overall yen short
positions were greatly reduced in the wake of BOJ intervention Thursday.
Margin FX flows are predictable and Japanese authorities would likely
have factored the flows in when deciding on the size of intervention.
"If such profit-taking by retail margin FX traders is successful, it may
also have a marginally positive effect on the economy, as such profits
may increase household consumption and tax revenues for the government,"
Yamamoto says.
never expected you to see those lines.... so why even bother?
..economy minister Yosano was earlier cited saying can't continue intervention "forever."
"..Chatter from traders that China sellers of dollar-yen in recent trade.."
