- The yen (NYSEARCA:FXY) is marginally higher vs. the dollar for the session, and should the gain hold, it would be the 8th straight advance - the longest such streak since Feb. 2011.
- The rally is part of a broader move that's seen dollar/yen fall to ¥111.07 from roughly ¥118 at the year's start. The Nikkei has naturally not been enjoying this - it's slightly lower for 2017 vs. the S&P 500's near-5% advance.
