Japan's deflation isn't beaten yet, Finance Minister Sadakazu Tanigaki said Koizumi is expected to officially declare victory over deflation (so he can take credit for it) before he leaves office at the end of Sept. From what I've read, he's most likely to do it during the upcoming G8 summit (mid-July) or when preliminary Q2 GDP data are released (around 10 Aug, I believe). Once he does, the BOJ will have a green light to pull the plug on ZIRP. By the same token, the BOJ may be unlikely to move before the official proclamation is made, out of courtesy to Koizumi (especially now that Fukui is in hot water).

dunno, but i guess that at some stage all carry trades come to an end, only a question of from what height in the meantime, a bit more gold cannot be a bad thing, since it worked out so well since 2000 BC :0) i understand that gold can collapse by half from current levels, and if so, we should consider ourselves fortunate, along with all those who already divested their gold at lower prices
