JPY is quiet, trading flat from Tuesday’s close and consolidating at fresh multi-month lows, nearly 5% below its 18- month high from late March.
Key Quotes:

"The 10Y spread is also climbing back toward last week’s high around 295bpts."
"Risk reversals are suggestive of a continued erosion in the premium for protection against JPY strength vs. the USD."
"They are steady for protection against JPY strength vs. EUR."
