USD\/JPY rose more than 150 pips on the day on steady bids that continued as the pair broke through 159.00 in US trading. That&#8217;s a real challenge to Japan&#8217;s finance ministry and the US Treasury as they try to clamp down on the pair, with limited success so far despite a big spend. Eyes will be on the rhetoric as Japan wakes up.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, the market is taking a dim view of the chance of peace in Iran and a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump sounded on the weekend like he had abandoned the military option and was going to try to starve out Iran with a blockade. In turn, Iran is going to try to keep oil blocked in the Strait and drive up the price of crude. With oil up nearly 5% today, the costs are quickly going to mount on both sides. Trump turned to compensation rhetoric this time rather than &#8216;bomb the power plants&#8217; so this could last awhile.<\/p>\n<p>Gold was also interesting as it gained once again in a reversal. It had been as low as $4313 but is trading near the highs at $4389 now in a nice turnaround. The US intervening to weaken its own currency, Friday&#8217;s soft jobs report and a meandering war are all tailwinds and the price action is impressive.<\/p>\n<p>On the equity side, there was an earlier report of a $500 billion structured finance loan for Nvidia in the hyper-scaler buildout in what&#8217;s possibly the largest private fundraise of all time. The details are beginning to leak out now but the initial reports weighed on Nvidia.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Adam Button at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fed&#8217;s Hammack: Now is the time to bring more restraint into policy Trump says he is demanding compensation from Iran for people killed It&#8217;s time to start the countdown on Atlantic hurricane&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":216,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-435839","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/435839","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/216"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=435839"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/435839\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=435839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=435839"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=435839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
