Key Quotes
"The yen's strength matches the fall in the Nikkei, and the continued softness of US rates."
"Setting new yen shorts is only really advisable when global equities look to have found a more durable base and the downtrend in US rates is over."
"Last Wednesday's low at USD/JPY 105.50 is key support now, and needs to hold before we will think about re-instating yen shorts."
"More widely, a US 10yr Note yield chart looks ugly. Beware the risk of another bond bear-bashing day."
