Broken record: Nikkei rallies, yen falls.

 The yen (FXY) continued its slide early Monday, falling to a new four-and-a-half year low against the dollar (before recovering), helping the Nikkei (NKY) post another triple-digit gain on the session, rising 1.2% to 14782, its highest level since January 2008. The weak yen comes on the heels of the G7's reportedly amicable meeting over the weekend, at which officials were generally supportive of the BOJ's policies and reiterated that Japan's goal is to fight deflation not engage in the targeting of exchange rates.
