The Dow Jones index closed -0.15% on the session. Gold is unchanged compared with yesterday at $1427/oz and oil has continued to rally, with US crude currently quoted at $104.90/bbl.

I’d expect the early Asian market to once again buy USD/JPY and the JPY crosses during the morning session, just in case the BOJ shows up again. These positions will probably be squared up after lunch if no intervention emerges (same as yesterday).
