The recent strength in the Yen is disturbing in that it reflects the Bank of Japan’s inability to fight deflation and the central banks’ unwillingness to work together. To be clear, negative interest rates are deflationary because of the nonlinear parabolic formation at 0%, so the BOJ needs to get interest rates back to zero. Unless the BOJ fully communicated the economics, the market might misinterpret a move back to 0%, so the BOJ needs the Fed and Treasury to support $Yen. Currently, politically in the US this move is unlikely, leaving the Japanese to fight deflation without any ammunition left.

The challenge for the US markets is global deflation is weighing on Asia and Europe and US domestic is not growing fast enough to support global growth. To reiterate, we believe the Fed should move back to 0% short term interest rates and begin to the normalize their balance by selling their bonds at historic highs. Until, we hear a more dovish tone from the Fed, we think there is a risk US asset prices and long term interest rates continue lower.

Thursday, June 16th on the close we sold our $Yen long at 104.30 for loss. Currently, we are short the German Dax and are in a synthetic option in the S&P bias short and in the US 10yr bias long and are 32% invested.
