We started the month by selling the Japanese Nikkei after the Bank of Japan moved to negative interest rates. Since the impact of monetary policy is nonlinear, the BOJ move to negative interest rates was deflationary on asset prices. On the first day of Janet Yellen’s testimony, we hedged up our Japanese Nikkei short with a synthetic option and went long $Yen. Fed Chairwoman Yellen’s second day of testimony had a different tone as she discussed negative interest rates on excess reserves. Consequently, we sold US 10yr notes and bought the S&P on the more dovish tone out of the Fed.

On February 16th, in hindsight, we sold the S&P too soon to hedge our long. We stayed hedge for over a week before buying back our short on the S&P making us long. During this time we continued to be hedged in the Japanese Nikkei until this evening/morning when we bought back our short on the close at 16,085. The tone of the Market has changed, as the latest communications out of the Fed are Dudley seeing downside risks to growth and inflation outlook. The dovish tone out of the Fed combined with Euro$ weakness and $Yen strength is supporting asset markets and causing long term interest rates to rise. We end February being long the Japanese Nikkei, the S&P and $Yen while being short US 10yr notes. We are 100% invested.
