We sold the Japanese Nikkei to create a new position and to hedge our S&P long, we continue to be short the German 10yr Bund and US 10yr notes.

We sold the Japanese Nikkei in front of the Bank of Japan announcement rather than last Friday. As we mentioned in our last email, “The weaker US dollar has enabled US asset prices to rally…(however)...we continue to believe a strong US dollar is best for the marketplace and protects the global economy from deflation.” On Friday, it seemed the central banks were beginning to let the the US dollar strengthen so we held off selling the Nikkei. However, it became clear after the Fed minutes, the Fed was dialing back its global outlook - possibly for political reasons - in addition there was no further indication in the minutes of a Fed tightening, so the US dollar weakened. Again as we mentioned in our last email,

“While both the Bank of Japan and the European Central Bank are easing to stimulate their economy, there is not enough domestic demand to stimulate growth. Both Asia and the Eurozone need a weaker currency / stronger US dollar to stimulate global demand for their products. Though the US equity markets are best positioned for the year, a weaker global market will make it difficult for US equities to close positive.”

While writing this email after the BOJ announcement of no further monetary stimulus and no substantive discussion of a weaker Yen, we are becoming more bearish on global asset prices and the US dollar.

On Wednesday night April 27th, Thursday morning in Tokyo we sold the Japanese Nikkei at equivalent index price of 17,525 to hedge our S&P position. However, a close below 2084 our risk management will cause us to sell our S&P long. Currently, we are long the S&P and short the Japanese Nikkei, German 10yr bund and US 10yr notes. We are 100% invested.
