Japan must see its yen currency rise a big bunch
and the Chinese yuan rise a little less
so we see a yen rise relative to the yuan

this is a new "Sophie's Choice" for Japan

Jyen down ==> exporters protected (status quo)

Jyen up ==> energy costs down, Nikkei up, underwater banks avoided

avoiding underwater banking system is the HIGHEST priority for Japan
therefore, that will lead all policy
with foreign investment driving up their Nikkei stocks,
we will see the Jyen continue up

Chinese demand will continue for Japanese exporters
if yuan goes up less than Jyen, Chinese demand will continue
for consumer goods and for high-tech industrial equipment

I kept it
the load from the last 6 months has been born by Japan, China, UK, Caribbean
collectively, Europe is in retreat
