In other words, while day-to-day there is little correlation amongst these three, they are tending to trend together.<\/p>\n<p>{snip}<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click for larger

\/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>So, overall, while the Japanese yen is on a general weakening trend that appears to support higher prices on the Nikkei and likely higher prices on the S&#038;P 500, the relationships are not reliable on a daily basis. The trends at work must be tracked over weeks and by direction. The risks over that time come from the volatility that can occur along the way. In particular, during the period where the market started roiling (panicking?) over higher interest rates in the U.S., the Japanese yen experienced several days of sudden and sharp bouts of strength where the S&#038;P 500 managed to rally. This volatility is currently coming back down, but I suspect the sudden flares will continue as the adjustments to a new market outlook continue.<\/p>\n<p>Be careful out there!<\/p>\n<p><strong>(This is an excerpt from an article I originally published on Seeking Alpha on July 2, 2013. <a href=\"http:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/article\/1530742-the-yen-the-nikkei-and-the-s-p-500-watch-the-trends-and-correlations\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to read the entire piece<\/a>.)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Full disclosure: net long Japanese yen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(This is an excerpt from an article I originally published on Seeking Alpha on July 2, 2013.
