Week in FX Europe Ben left the door open and Draghi?
Ben failed to deliver. Will Draghi also disappoint those who are betting large on a big bond buying announcement by the ECB next week?

To really understand how much support they have the market will have to wait until the second week of September.

Week in FX ASIA Japan remains a large foreign bond buyer
The MoF latest data shows that Japan remains a major foreign bond buyer. Volumes remain very high with sales of Y2.478t against purchases of Y3.5205t as many made their way back from the Oban-summer holidays. The dollar again seems to have been the favored destination, with US yields and USD/JPY considerably higher of late.
