FOREX: Narrow Ranges In Play

FOREX

No real change in tone in FX markets since our previous update, BBDXY a touch firmer on the day but still comfortably below Friday’s highs.

  • JPY still weaker against all G10 peers, USD/JPY recently hit fresh session highs at 156.80 before fading back to 156.75.
  • Initial resistance at Friday’s high (157.93) remains some distance away.
  • JPY traders look to BoJ Governor Ueda’s Christmas Day speech and Friday’s Tokyo CPI data.
  • EUR/USD now little changed at 1.0430. Initial support & resistance at 1.0343/1.0501.
  • No real impact on GBP after marginal negative revisions in the final Q3 UK GDP data.
  • U.S. durable goods and consumer confidence data headline the macro calendar today, little of note scheduled from Europe.
