Bank of Japan Governor Kuroda has managed to do it again. In his now daily missives on "deflation mindset being over", "economy is on the right track", "QQE is working", and his best yet "BoJ has no plan to finance government debt", Kuroda unleashed the ultimate idiocy last night when he proclaimed "it is desirable for FX to move in a stable manner." USDJPY has fallen over 2 handles for the biggest surge in JPY strength in 6 months... to which Amari noted "Kuroda didn't intend to move market with his remarks."

The biggest surge in JPY (drop in USDJPY) in 6 months!

Irony indeed.
