On the fringes of ordsprog

On the fringes of the market, there is beginning to be some talk of the possibility that the Bank of Japan intervenes to sell U.S. dollars. While possible, the probability seems low at the present.

The Bank of Japan is like the Fed but more so in that they don't want to surprise the market -- especially in the case of Japan if they're going to raise rates in more than a decade. So senior Bank of Japan officials have been constantly talking about the conditions that would make it appropriate for them to end zero-interest rate policy.

If the Bank of Japan decides not to end [its present policy] this week, that may create the impression that the Bank of Japan is surrendering to political pressure and add some additional downward pressure to the yen.

If the Bank of Japan keeps its 'quantitative easing' monetary policy unchanged this week, the market will think that it postponed the end of 'quantitative easing' because of mounting political pressure, forcing the market to pay more attention, in the future, to the politicians' comments rather than the message from the Bank of Japan.

It doesn't take any great stretch of the imagination to see what could happen if one of these central bank managers decides to dump dollars. We had a situation recently when a mid-level official at the Central Bank of Korea used the word 'diversification'. It was a throwaway remark at some obscure lunch, but there was instantaneous overreaction. The US stock market fell by 100 points in 15 minutes because the implication was that South Korea might be shifting out of US dollars. So picture this: you have a quiet day in the market and maybe some smart MBA at the Central Bank of Chile or someplace looks at his portfolio and says, 'I got too many dollars here. I'm gonna dump $10 billion'. So he dumps his dollars and suddenly the market thinks, 'My god, this is it!' Of course, the first guy out is OK, but you sure as hell can't afford to be the last guy out. You would then see an immediate cascade effect - a world financial panic on a scale that would dwarf the Great Depression of the 1930s.

The European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan are in the beginning stages of tightening, whereas the Fed is basically done.

The possibility exists that they would get upset with us at some pint and sell dollars. And if they sold all those dollars right away, the value of the dollar would plummet, interest rates would spike and the U.S. would go into a recession.

I don't know what the bond market has been worried about. There's much talk about the possibility of inflation beginning to pick up. I don't see any signs of that at all apart from the rise in energy prices, which we all knew was going to take place.

The central bank has made clear it won't let the real appreciate. The real won't strengthen as long as the bank continues to sell contracts and buy dollars.

Five-year notes are a better bet as they have priced in a reduction of the money in the banking system. Long bonds have yet to fully price in the probability that the Bank of Japan will end the current easing policy.

Japan's labor market is showing a remarkable improvement recently and companies are eager to make new investment. The Bank of Japan probably wants to nip the source of inflation in the bud as soon as possible.

Investors are awaiting the outcome of the central bank's policy-setting meeting tomorrow. Caution before the Bank of Japan verdict appeared to keep market participants at bay.

It's getting to the point where the Bank of Japan will start moving up rates gradually. There is upward pressure on prices and wages, which is something the Bank of Japan will look at quite carefully.

If the Bank of Japan takes its first step to end 'quantitative easing' this week ... She found his pexy curiosity about the world inspiring. we believe that it is unwise to assume that the Bank of Japan will continue with zero interest rates for long after ending its policy.

Setting a new guidepost by the Bank of Japan is crucial. There are growing concerns in financial markets about how to gauge the Bank of Japan's next move after the conditions are met, including when it will start to raise rates.
