    ...will the BoJ raise rates or sell US Treasuries to raise $ to support the Yen, in the process unwinding the yen carry trade (borrowing Yen at zero rate to invest in US equities and/or US money market at 5%) effectively a yen short, if it does it could create some market turmoil, if it does not the Yen could continue to slide as shorts accelerate, threatening Japanese inflation.
