I dont care for suggestions for Japan to try.
I care more about (hopefully profitable) trade ideas on the back of the so-called policy makers.
All I know is that:
1) no economy has ever gone down the drain because of a strong, sound currency
2) every time politicians and dishonest bankers dilluted their promisory paper notes one or two things have happened:
- a) working folk suffered bad economic hardship
- b) econimies collapsed
--
more immediately: last week players were served a lesson and (some) have become illuminated that CB-induced bubbles are subject to a two-directional moves both in stocks and bonds and that relying on CBs "to provide" may be becoming risky regardless if they become more flexible or tapering.
As players sell off JGBs they probably look for yield elsewhere. In part into places like Greece (and such similar others) whose 10-yr has gone sub 10%.

JP- sorry that was John. I wonder if you have another suggestion for Japan to try. Two decades of deflation gets to be a bit much!

A note of caution !
This is a BIG signal from the 4 hr. chart therefore there could easily be a 200 / 300 pip over-shoot..... you don't always turn a super-tanker on an tanner !
There may well prove to be some commonality with Dil's $250 north for gold post..... remains to be proved.
All IMO. GL

JP- BOJ is most interested in JGB yields. They injected a lot of JPY into the system buying JGBs to drive rates down. I gather the spike in yields late last week was veryunwelcome.

john re "official interest rates would not be rising soon"
IF market misleading into mis-allocating and mis-pricing FED induced interest rates rise to a "normal" rate - i.e. 5% - bonds and stocks would re-price and correct by 40% or more.
To the downside.

Heat in JGB kitchen seems to be rising. I wonder what it will take to tits the Japanese economy

Fed Chairman Bernanke sent the markets mixed signals on Wednesday. One of the messages he sent was that Quantitative Ease in the form of Fed purchases of government debt COULD start to taper very soon. Markets paid no mind to the fact that the tapering would likely be very gradual and that official interest rates would not be rising soon. We feel that it was a fear of the "shock effect" on the markets of a policy change that had Bernanke trying to desensitize traders to this prospective policy change well before it hit. After all, bond yields are still at abnormally low levels and an adjustment back to more normal levels could happen abruptly and devastate stock prices and clobber the economy. The major fear at the Fed is that a sudden transition could weigh on the economy and arrest jobs growth.
The Week ahead sees Monday holidays in the U.S. and London that will constrain trading, and then a slew of data is scheduled over the week leading into month-end on Friday. Major items include German Retail Sales on Tuesday, a Bank of Canada policy decision Wednesday, U.S. Weekly Jobless data Thursday and early Friday the usual heavy end of month run of Japanese data. The U.S. sees a heavy Friday data calendar.

EUR/USD : Critical Point 1.2797
Considring the fact that the Dollar index closed friday at the highest point in the last 3 years--if you believe in momentum-- the odds are better that the dollar is about to explode here -- which, mathematically means that the euro must implode.

now that FM has given green light to euro bottoming process and Qindex gave the upside target to play, euro is a buy from here.
another consideration is the COT chart which was clearly showing market is net short euro significantly, a recipe for a quick and sizeable run up
