But on the global picture the one I continue to find the most interesting is Japan, because it went decades in the grip of deflation and chronically under performed most other markets.

Today Yen-hedge Japan (DXJ and/or HEWJ) is breaking to a new short-term (daily) high.

That is significant because the Nikkei index was already above a key long-term breakout point before today’s surge. This will be interesting.

[edit] neglected to mention, I am long DXJ.
