     In a noteworthy development, Japanese investors turned their attention to foreign bonds for the first time in three weeks, driven by a strengthened yen and increasing overseas yields.

Stalo se tak poprvé od konce druhé světové války, kdy se centrální banky mezi sebou dohodly na základní spolupráci: použití jiné měny při intervencích bez vědomí emisní banky je proto právem považováno za bezprecedentní porušení norem spolupráce západních centrálních bank.
