Yen plunges after BoJ intervention


Morning Report: 08.30 London

• This morning, the yen is dropping sharply after the Bank of Japan introduced monetary easing activities in a bid to further weaken the yen. With the UK, Europe and US winning the race to devalue their currencies, the yen was in danger of being left behind.


The EUR/JPY is up another 0.59%, the GBP/JPY up 0.55%, the AUD/JPY up 0.50, with the USD/JPY up 0.42%.

Bet Idea:

Stock markets hit new highs recently, with the % of stocks reaching new highs also rising at the same time. This has been a consistent buy signal for markets in the past, as it hints at the breadth of buying interest. The AUD/JPY is often the default option for speculators in currency markets as a vehicle for the carry trade.

This could mean further upside for the pair over the next two weeks. A good way to play this might be a HIGHER trade predicting that the AUD/JPY closes above 82.75 in 14 days for a potential return of 114%.
