5. SOUNDBITE: (English) Ben Collett, Louis Capital Markets, Head of Japanese Equities:
"I think what we are seeing here is a certain amount of confusion from investors, certainly risk off is still the appetite from investment point of view, or at least any risk you put on is short-term. We are also seeing today a rather extreme move in the yen, or extreme volatility rather in the yen, but it looks like it''s settled. I think what we are noticing is investors are very jumpy about potential interventions from all government. Obviously the theme globally is what are the respective local governments and regulatory authorities are going to do? And that is where the uncertainty comes from because it''s very difficult to place a market bet on a political outcome."
