I'm leaving tomorrow for a short, 5-day vacation on the beautiful Prahova Valley, some 100 miles from Bucharest. I'll have the proper logistics at hand, however, so that I can keep in touch with the markets full time.
First off, I guess I'll be running a heavy
short yen exposure into the FOMC rates decision, but I'm watching all positions involved with great care.
Even though the US stock market has been sliding recently, that hardly looked like a genuinely impulsive event and the Japanese yen has no longer reacted positively. The media seems full of pessimism with regard to stocks - but pessimism of the already known kind, I reckon. That adds to my confidence of being bearish on the yen since in the short run I think the main US stock indices will not sink decisively under their January lows.
In the big picture - unless a remarkably negative surprise hits on short notice or some terrible disruption occurs on a global level - I see the main US stock indices further moving sideways. And so, if my perception is correct, soon the path of least resistance in the US stock market is going to once again favor the buyers - with all the more negative consequences for the Japanese currency.
Another position I hold, taken on June 10, bets on the already foreseen appreciation of the US dollar against the Canadian counterpart (I'll write about this in a few days).
