FOREX: MS have put out a trade of the week to sell AUDJPY at market with a
target of Y79.00 and stop at Y83.05. 
- MS add, AUDJPY has rallied in the past few weeks on the back of the risk
rebound, and is back near levels where we think shorts offer good risk/reward.
The main focus this week is on US CPI, where the outcome is likely to point in
favour of a stronger JPY. Should inflation surprise on the upside, indicating
rising inflationary pressure and pushing bond yields up, risk is likely to come
under selling pressure which should weaken AUDJPY. On the contrary, a downside
surprise in inflation should push US bond yields lower, which should weaken
AUDJPY too as the JPY is more sensitive to US yields. We like AUDJPY shorts
strategically too as tightening global liquidity does not bode well for risk
appetite in the medium term. The main risk to this trade is a strong rally in
risk appetite.
