Yen weakens as Tokyo fires another verbal shot
• JPY weakened after Japan’s Finance Minister Aso reiterated that Tokyo is ready to intervene in the FX market if needed. Nikkei is up 2.1%.
• With the May G7 meeting in Japan around the corner, we consider this as highly unlikely for now.
• We believe that further verbal intervention is unlikely to have a major impact on JPY.
• Until speculation for more easing by the BoJ reappears, JPY may remain sensitive to changes in risk sentiment and movements in equity markets.

Today:
• Germany: Industrial production and trade balance, both for Mar.
• Norway: CPI for Apr. is exp. to remain unchanged, above the Norges Bank target. This could prove NOK-positive.
• UK: Trade deficit for Mar. is exp. to narrow. Usually not a major market mover.
• US: NFIB small business optimism for Apr. JOLTS job openings and wholesale inventories, both for Mar.
