our market reacts more to Intel/Europe than to Japan (some of the rate custs in Europe were mentioned after market closed there) US Trade with Asia (total ) is 11%. trade has never been an issue. currency exchange trading relative to yen vs dollar compared to dollar vs other european currencies is about 5% yen vs 95% other -traders more heavily leveraged with European currencies than yen. European currency leverage outstrips yen tading on the upcoming transfer to the Eurodollar and heavier trade bw US and Europe. bets on the yen are mostly speculative and have little to do with trade exchange rates/hedging. riddles make us all feel more important.

if you're referring to the following article

biz.yahoo.com

this amounts to $3.2 billion. not much in daily activity. so they've straddled with other currencies vs yen

the Japanese are moving more toward intl purchases of goods. strong yen means cheaper imports, lowering of trade surplus for US. some positive effects

if you mean that another anticipated rate cut in the US could lead to US Treasuries being offloaded by Japanese...a rate cut causes the value of US bonds to go up relative to the value of the Yen with stable exchange rates. so this in itself would not prompt a sell off of US Treas

of course, in down markets, ignorance is a presumptive way to handle trading, i.e., sell
