Don't Forget the Yen

Much ado about USD rebounds during falling markets, but JPY strength still outperforms USD.

IcDeadppl, UNLIKE previous 5 weeks when i constantly warned of yen strength occuring on a friday. this week i never said the yen would rally. In fact, my IMTs this week CAREFULLY WARNED of JPY carrying the burden of the carry trades, relieving the USD of it. It's actually in Thursday's FT. make a search under my name in ft.com and you will find it.

Wow, the yen really got pummeled today... can't win them all, Mr. Laidi! I am afraid the sentiment is shifting away from it and into the dollar pretty rapidly.

Blyth, lets see if AUDJPY breaks below that key support of 76.30. But if i were you, id buy AUDUSD as the LONGTERM BUY instead of AUDJPY. What i mean by long term here is for at least 2 months.

Wasup, so you sold at 128.30 and you did NOTHING when it went to the key support of 127.00?? WHY?? you saw a 130-pip profit and you did not take it? 127 was a big support, which means it is hard for it to drop below. you CANNOT IGNORE THIS STUFF !

and yes, i expecct it to drop towards 127 again. BUT DO NOT STAY FROZEN NEXT TIME WHEN YOU SEE A 130-PIP PROFIT. markets are not waiting for you to make money.

Xaron, you cannot be sure unless you know who is exposed to Dubai and to what extent as well as those exposed to those exposed to dubai. direct and indirect exposure. More like the Detroit housewife foreclosing onher property affecting the pensioners in Norway.

Personally I don't think it will go deeper now. The worst case scenario has been priced in and come on... a domino effect because of Dubai? ;)

Be careful with the Yen now. I don't expect it to go up much further as there might be some intervention soon if so.

Hi Ashraf,
I am short on EURYEN @128.30. But its going up now. Is there any possibility that it can move down towards 127.00.
Thanks
