The real question is, how long the Japanese can buy them?
60 billion in one month is a lot of dough to spend on bonds,
and the Yen went higher, below 106 yen per dollar. Sure
BOJ would buy bonds, but not now, since it's above again.
How long can, or will they spend that much buying dollars?
They bought something like 200 billion last year, lost 70
billion on their bond position. If the currency market
proves to be stronger than BOJ, everything is a toast. JMHO.
No, the Fed won't raise, although somebody in it obviously
wanted to, today.

I think the currency crash may be brewing, if the Yen spends
too much time below 106. That's why today's retoric.
