BoJ and USDJPY

BOJ holds rates at 0.75% (6-3 split).

- 3 members pushed for a hike.

- Core inflation forecast raised to 2.8%, growth cut to 0.5%.

- Ueda stays cautious, hawkish undertone.

- Yen jumps, then fades. Nikkei -1%.

- Markets eye June hike.

- Hawkish hold puts pressure on yen.


USDJPY is approaching our target, it should be a nice short opportunity.


Semiconductor's Valuations

  • Semiconductor's market cap has never been so extended, fwiw.
  • It is twice of the one at the 2000 dot-com peak. It will come down eventually, the question is of precise timing. See my SMH cycle chart posted a few days ago.


Sell in May and Go Away

  • Retire "Sell in May and Go Away?" I am not so sure, especially not this year
  • Maybe shift May to June?
