<li>Japanese Banks have had a good run recently. From the day before the BOJ changed the 10yr yield target in December in its YCC programme to today, +30% vs TOPIX.</li>
<li>The question is how that is spread out. There are lots of banks. Some are cheaper than others. Some are better than others. Can we draw conclusions to trade better?</li>
<li>If you are looking at Japanese Banks to play a change in BOJ policy when Governor Kuroda's term ends shortly, there are definitely conclusions one can draw. I offer comments.</li>
