A most interesting article. How did you find it?

I am not so sure that using yen is the best approach. I can make the case that charting the indecies using a trade weighted dollar index or a global GDP weighted dollar index should be more convincing. I agree with the basic premise of the article though.

Also, as far as I know, the Japanese are mostly into the US treasuries. So better indicators may be the performance of stocks versus the yen weighted 30 year bond and the yen weighted spread between TNX and JGB. I'd love to get my hands on those charts, but I doubt I can find anyone to do them for me.

Wren and Sun--

These guys should stick to economics. The issue of how the Dow is valued in foreign exchange currencies is very interesting. The peregrination into physics is complete bunk! I will be in Europe this summer, and I will read up in the German papers how the Dow is reported, either in dollars or in deutche marks (or euros). Sun, good luck on such charts.

Oliver
