The various trading machines added a lot of white noise..., I used to track conditional movements in a spread sheet but found that worthless when correlations, most importantly between the pound and Eur broke down and never came back really. Found that all possible variations in currency movements have been achieved now (even, Yen up, Pound up, Eur down which was outright pervert but was soon followed by the yen crash). Since that time, the yen is no longer an automatic short when the GBP trades up, as well (well recently since the EUR / JPY carry trade tracks stock better it could work). Yield curve flattening with no inflation must be bullish for the yen has always been since it reduces the incentive to buy dollars for the yen long term. That became useful today again.
