BOJ Easing Could Drop Yen to 105

Posted by Joseph Trevisani on Apr 10, 2013 2:08:00 PM

A Nikkei News story for Thursday says the BOJ's monetary easing could propel dollar/yen as high as 105-107 and the Nikkei 225 to at least 15,000 this fiscal year, citing a survey of market experts taken by Nikkei News. In FX, 60% see scope for a 105-Y107 dollar-yen, which looks for a yen far weaker than the 95-Y100 yen mentioned as desirable by 30% of business heads in another Nikkei survey taken Tuesday.

Dollar-yen holds at 99.72 currently (high earlier at 99.82) and the Nikkei 225 closed at 13,288.13 Wednesday.

High Risk Investment Warning: WorldWideMarkets, Ltd. believes that customers should be aware of the risks associated with Over-the-Counter (OTC) market. In the OTC market, a retail customer trades directly with a counterparty and there is no exchange or central clearing house to support the transaction. The OTC market is highly speculative in nature, which can mean prices may become extremely volatile. Since low margin deposits are only typically required, an extremely high degree of leverage is obtainable in OTC trading. A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited. Since the possibility of losing your entire cash balance does exist, speculation in the OTC market should only be conducted with risk capital that you can afford to lose, and which will not dramatically impact your lifestyle.
