Weston it would be great to get your thoughts as dollar yen tests 150. BOJ upcoming events. Mechanics of JG response. Seemed like when it gets above 150 JG sells treasuries but it'd be neat to understand details (I think its Ministry of Finance, not BOJ does the selling). Does JG let dollar yen rise to 160 and so forth.

Weston any thoughts on today's (Friday Feb 2) bipolar yen? TNX popped 15bps on blowout US jobs, dollar yen surged from 146.5 to 147.5 then drifted above 148. Dollar mania? Folks offsides needing to liquidate? 148 seems like intermediate resistance. Pure bipolar noise or some fundamental shift. Powell higher for longer w strong economy and wage growth? Lots of chatter about US productivity growth.
