The Bank of Japan's latest gambit barely moved the Nikkei, much less the rest of the world's risk assets...Central Banks went ALL IN this week to save the casino. Now they have no dry powder left over for when shit goes sideways to down...
Global RISK OFF due to insolvency was deemed unacceptable to Central Planners hobnobbing at Davos. So Kuroda san was nominated by Super Mario to obliterate all shorts and thereby flip the switch back to RISK ON, if only for a few hours...One Central Bankster to control $200 trillion in global assets by taking interest rates to -.1%.

Let's see what happened to "RISK"...
