With the USD a litttle more stable, the Japanese don't have to buy Old Maid cards right now, so I'm sure they are taking a pass.

My hunch is the Fed is picking up the pace and has a little line drawn in the sand at 4.40% on the 10 year. Given that they monetized 1.341B last week, that hints it may have been them at that level after the bogus GDP report. The key (and I think the weak point) are the funds and specs hanging tight. The Fed isn't making much in the way of free loans available,

so I think we test 4.40% again pretty quickly, and a billion or two of Fed monetizing a week (and more overnight heroin) won't be enough to hold it. On the other side of the coin I think we have some negative economic surprises (including overseas rate increases) coming that may test the Japanese and the USD again.
