Has anybody noticed that the Nikkei and yen have parted company? Yen back near the lows, but Nikkei hold nicely above 16,000. A good omen for Japanese stocks methinks.

Those Japan funds that have hedged their yen exposure doing very nicely. In fact we may soon reach a stage where a weakening yen actually helps Japanese stocks as has been the case in Europe for some time.

Mike, if memory serves, in April they did mention that the deregulation will be gradual, but I do not remember specifics of the nature of "graduality", this was one of the reason that I postulated at the time that no more than 2%/year will leak into international markets.
