Japanese yen jumps as traders suspect intervention | Reuters

TOKYO/LONDON/NEW YORK, Oct 21 (Reuters) - Japanese authorities likely intervened in markets to stem the slide of the country’s battered currency on Friday, market participants said, following an unexpected jump in the yen against the dollar.

The yen rose as high as 144.50 per dollar on Friday, up more than 7 yen from a 32-year low of 151.94 yen per dollar, touched earlier in the session. The dollar was last down 1.8% at 147.34 yen.

june 2022:

yield curve control = BOJ unli-buying of 10Y bonds to hold the yield at or below 0.25%

saw this kanina

haha

how long can the BOJ hold the 10Y at 0.25%?

BOJ widens the trading band to 0.50%

[uls]

^^^

update:

10Y JGB broke above the 0.50% cap




good luck BOJ

[uls]

everybody was expecting the BOJ to increase the cap to 1%

that's why the yen has been strengthening

but nooooo......

the BOJ doesn't do anything

Breaking: BoJ stands pat on yield control policy, USD/JPY rockets

-

USDJPY back above 130

Thanks to "made in China"... All the items that have fallen in prices are manufactured goods. If Western and Japanese manufacturers maintained their dominance, those things would have been priced higher... Sample of which is Apple.

Fast, cheap, high-quality. Pick 2.

Fast and cheap = low quality
Cheap and high quality = slow to produce
Fast and high quality = not cheap

Have you seen the product range of Xiaomi? Where will you put that?

Doesn't feel cheap, doesn't look low quality. No idea how fast they are being produced, but if you look at their items in Shopee and Lazada, it looks like it's flooded with Xiaomi products.
