MXNJPY Breaking Multiple Resistance Points

  • USDJPY is continuing its upward trajectory following last week’s significant break of 116.35 and impressive three big figure extension in just over a week.
  • As noted, the Mexican Peso has traded resiliently with the latest bounce in equities spurring USDMXN through some notable short-term supports and signalling scope for a more bullish technical MXN outlook.
  • MXNJPY has risen a further 0.77% on Friday and is currently over 8% off last week’s lows of 5.3773. Over the past couple of sessions the pair has broken a trendline across the 2021 highs and most recently has breached the downtrend, drawn from the 2018 highs of 6.1633.
  • Last week saw multiple long USDJPY trade recommendations using 120 as an initial target, however, given the 2015 highs reside above 125, further JPY weakness may be in the pipeline.
  • The persistent core inflation problem in Mexico bolsters the likelihood of Banxico maintaining the 50bp hiking pace at next Thursday’s meeting, especially given the latest minutes highlighted the committee discussing a 75bp hike.
  • Additionally, the Fed’s more hawkish dot plot and previous rhetoric from the Mexican Central Bank regarding mirroring the Fed’s actions should keep Banxico on the offensive and in turn supporting MXN.
  • The initial target in focus for MXNJPY will be 6.0124, representing the pre-pandemic 2020 highs.
