YEN: JPY has reversed some of Thursday's risk on inspired losses as US Pres.
Trump' revealed that he has ordered the US Tsy to consider $100bln in additional
Chinese tariffs. USDJPY trades at 107.15 after it tested 107.00, EURJPY last
deals at 131.20, with AUDJPY last at 82.20 after a brief look below 82.00.
- Support emerging in USDJPY allowed the pair to close > the 55-DMA (107.28) the
first close above this MA since early Jan, although the cross has moved below
the 55-DMA on the aforementioned Trump comments. Bulls now focus on the low from
Feb 9 (108.03), although daily studies are approaching overbought levels. Bears
now look for a close below 107.15, before targeting a move to 106.69.
- EURJPY remains supported around the 55 & 200-WMAs (129.30) and capped ahead of
the 200-DMA (132.12) with the 100-DMA offering key topside resistance (133.06).
- With the AUD susceptible to US-China trade relations, the pair under performed
the other JPY crosses. The low from Mar (82.70) continues to act as the key
resistance level, while initial support is now noted at the 21-DMA (82.16),
although that was breached earlier. Bears look for a close below hourly support
from Wednesday (81.93).
