Yen Slides Against All G-10 Peers As Abe Seeks 2 Trillion Stimulus Package

Heads up, the yen is on the move against … well… against everything, suddenly falling against all of its G10 peers, apparently on this:

And you can really see the move in EUR/JPY, which has now reversed the entirety of the post-German election move lower and then some:

So I guess, in combination with the BoJ promising to keep the pedal to metal on the easing, this should be good for about a million points on the Nikkei.
