Japan's prime minister, Shinzo Abe, is set to meet with U.S. President Trump on Friday and so investors may be trimming yen longs ahead of that event. The Bank of Japan has also been buying JGBs from the five to 10-year tenor every day since last Friday and lower rates in Japan should push capital eastward across the Pacific. Stocks traded sharply higher around the world today as Trump said that there will be an announcement on tax cuts in two to three weeks, so that helped push the U.S. dollar higher and weighed on the funding currencies (euro, yen, Swissy).
