USD/JPY
and yen crosses had another day of large swings after the Bank of
Japan decision on Wednesday to raise rates and the signs from the US
Federal Reserve that a rate cut from them is as close as September.

From
above 150 in the morning USD/JPY fell to around 148.50 before surging
back to around 149.80. We had data from Japan today, but that’s not
what mainly moved the yen. We also had some commentary from Japan
chief cabinet secretary Hayashi about FX moving in a stable manner.
But he was just going through the motions, Japanese authorities are
happy that the yen is not weakening as it was only a few weeks ago.

Other
major FX traded in a much more subdued manner. Gold moved towards
$2460 but has since come back to around $2440. Bitcoin remained
heavy, its under USD64K as I post.

US
equity index futures continued their bounce back, adding to their
gains from Wednesday.
