Key Quotes
“USD/JPY (¥116.00) has been aided in its cause following news that a planned sales tax may be postponed and snap elections called in Japan.”
“The U.S dollars meteoric rise is expected for a breather soon, nevertheless, the dollar’s trend remains your friend with deeper gains beyond ¥116 leading to more short-term erratic moves.”
“The technicians will argue that a daily close above ¥115.95 will be required to resume the currency pair’s short-term momentum. This current move has obviously negated the damage seen post-payrolls, and signals the markets resumption of the greater uptrend towards ¥118.00.”
“Expect the crosses such as GBP/JPY (£183.80) and EUR/JPY (€143.85) to aid in the yen’s demise.”
