RR5, funny how Japanese currency is the oddball strong US$ brings about a weaker JYen to some minor degree that currency relationship is more a function of FedReserve and BankofJapan cooperative intervention, perceived economic strength, and trends exploited by huge institutional traders but the link between US interest rates and Japanese currency is not validated Japanese Govt Bonds (JGB, known as Jags) are offering about 0.25% a hike in USrates has little influence on marginal diff basis a weak JYen is perversely excellent for Asian and PacRim economies the game is played vis-a-vis Europe most of us ragamuffins have roots in Europe we Americans still feel a strange loyal responsibility to Europe and our old homelands we feel sorry for their pathetic clutching of socialism Europe holds the key now / Jim
